Criminal Law

Criminal Defense & Strategic Litigation.

We build our reputation on carefully selected, intricate matters that possess a public dimension or require sophisticated legal strategy. We specialize in "Strategic Litigation"—cases where expert knowledge of procedural law can profoundly alter the outcome. Our primary focus is on the High Court Division, securing urgent remedies when the lower courts have failed to protect individual liberty. However, we also have expert team to conduct trial of criminal case in the lower Court. 

Core Areas of Practice

1. Anticipatory Bail & Quashing (High Court Division)

We specialize in restoring liberty when it matters most.

  • Bail Applications (Section 498): We have developed sophisticated strategies for critical bail applications heard by the Hon’ble High Court Division4. We view bail as a fundamental right and work to eliminate punitive pre-trial incarceration5.
  • Quashing Proceedings (Section 561A): We file petitions to "Quash" (dismiss) harassment cases and false FIRs that abuse the process of the court.
  • Criminal Appeal: We usefully conduct hearing against the conviction given by the lower Court including Death Sentence. 
  • Trial of criminal cases:  Our Expert Team conduct trial of criminal cases before the Magistrate Court and Sessions Judge Court. 

2. Financial Crimes & Cheque Dishonour (White Collar)

Protecting corporate reputation in financial disputes.

  • Cheque Dishonour (Section 138): As part of our corporate service, we handle multi-million dollar disputes arising from bounced cheques under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
  • Fraud & Forgery: We devote resources to evaluating evidence in complex cases of forgery, financial misconduct, and breach of trust that threaten careers and business reputations.

3. Serious Offenses & Capital Defense

  • Murder & Homicide: These severe cases require aggressive defense. We focus on forensic investigation and challenging the chain of evidence to prevent wrongful conviction.
  • Drug & Narcotics: We are known for shrewdly analyzing the legality of arrests and the "flimsiness" of seizure evidence in narcotics cases, which are a high priority for law enforcement.

4. Cybercrime & Digital Defense

  • ICT Act Litigation: Our lawyers understand the technical nuances of the IT world. We defend clients against allegations of cybercrime by analyzing digital evidence and challenging technical forensic reports.

 

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Defense

Cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission are legally distinct from regular police cases. They involve a rigorous "Preliminary Inquiry" before a case is even filed. We intervene at the earliest stage to prevent an inquiry from turning into an arrest.

1.The "Notice" Stage & Inquiry Defense 

The defense begins before the FIR is filed.

  • Responding to Summons: We prepare clients for interrogation during the ACC’s preliminary fact-finding mission. A careless statement here can be used against you later.
  • Challenging the Jurisdiction: We scrutinize whether the allegations actually fall under the Schedule of the ACC Act, 2004 or if they are merely civil or administrative disputes disguised as corruption.

2. Asset Declaration (Section 26 & 27 Defense) The "Wealth Statement" is the most dangerous document in an ACC case.

  • Drafting the Wealth Statement: When the ACC issues a notice under Section 26(1) demanding an asset declaration, we assist in drafting a precise statement that aligns your "Known Sources of Income" with your accumulated assets.
  • Defense against "Disproportionate Assets": We defend against charges under Section 27(1) (Possession of assets disproportionate to known income) by reconciling tax files, inheritance records, and capital gain explanations to prove the legitimacy of your wealth.

3. Bail in Special Judge Courts ACC cases have stricter bail provisions.

  • Special Judge Court Representation: Bail in ACC cases is often harder to secure than in regular criminal cases. We move specialized bail petitions arguing on the merits of the financial evidence and the health/status of the accused.
  • High Court Anticipatory Bail: In appropriate cases, we move the High Court Division for Anticipatory Bail immediately after the FIR is lodged to prevent harassment and public arrest.

4. Money Laundering Defense

  • Trace & Freeze: Defending against the freezing of bank accounts and attachment of properties under the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012. We challenge the "Confiscation Orders" to release business assets during the trial.

Unlike a theft or assault case, an ACC case is primarily a documentary trial. The battle is fought over Tax Returns, Bank Ledgers, and Land Deeds. Our team includes lawyers who understand forensic accounting to dismantle the prosecution's calculation of "Illegal Wealth."
