Criminal Law
At The Justice Corner, we offer specialized legal services for individuals and businesses facing criminal charges, with a particular focus on bail applications and quashment of criminal proceedings. Our experienced criminal law team is highly skilled in securing bail from higher courts and seeking the quashment of criminal cases under provisions like Section 498 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and Section 561A of the CrPC. With a robust track record of success, including representing prominent figures and major corporations, we are trusted legal advisors and advocates in criminal matters.
Key Areas of Expertise
1. Bail Applications under Section 498 CrPC
One of the core areas in which The Justice Corner excels is representing clients in bail applications under Section 498 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). This section allows for the grant of bail in cases where a person has been arrested or is facing the prospect of arrest for a non-bailable offense.
Our legal team has a comprehensive understanding of the procedural intricacies involved in obtaining bail, especially in high-profile or sensitive criminal cases. We have successfully obtained bail for numerous clients, including renowned individuals such as Mahfuz Anam, the prominent journalist, and Mohammad Mohsin (CIP), demonstrating our capacity to handle even the most challenging criminal cases.
In cases involving white-collar crimes, financial frauds, or misuse of power, we provide strategic counsel to ensure that our clients’ rights are safeguarded while they navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system.
2. Quashment of Criminal Proceedings under Section 561A CrPC
In certain circumstances, a criminal case may be baseless, malicious, or misleading—and may require judicial intervention to prevent the continuation of the proceedings. Under Section 561A of the Criminal Procedure Code, we represent clients seeking the quashment of criminal proceedings, where the allegations are frivolous or do not hold legal merit.
Our team is adept at presenting arguments for the quashment of cases in higher courts, particularly when the charges do not meet the threshold of seriousness required for prosecution. We have a strong track record of success in securing the quashing of criminal charges on the grounds of abuse of process, lack of evidence, and unjustified accusations.
3. Criminal Cases Involving Dishonored Cheques (Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act)
Dishonor of cheques is a common issue in commercial and business dealings, and it is governed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. When a cheque is dishonored due to insufficient funds, fraud, or technical reasons, criminal proceedings may be initiated, potentially leading to penalties and criminal liability for the issuer.
At The Justice Corner, we have significant expertise in handling criminal cases involving dishonored cheques. We represent both individuals and corporations, including ACI Limited and Saad Musa Group, who frequently face such cases due to their business transactions. Our team works diligently to defend clients against cheque dishonor charges, often through negotiations or by challenging the validity of the case in court. We aim to either resolve the matter favorably or ensure that clients are not unjustly penalized.
4. Notable Success in High-Profile Bail Applications
Our reputation in the criminal law sector is reinforced by our successful handling of high-profile bail applications. For instance, we represented Mahfuz Anam, a renowned journalist, in a significant bail matter, and Mohammad Mohsin (CIP), securing bail in a timely manner and ensuring that their rights were protected during the legal proceedings.
In addition to these cases, Mr. Hossain, one of our senior partners, personally handled the bail applications of former prime ministers in 2011, showcasing our ability to manage sensitive, high-stakes criminal cases. Our firm is trusted by prominent individuals in need of specialized criminal defense, ensuring they receive fair treatment and legal protection.
