Before a case exists
Pre-Charge
The stage where the most can be done and the least usually is. A complaint has been made, or a notice has arrived, and no charge has been framed yet. What is said in the next few weeks decides how much of the next few years is spent in court.
How We Run It
What instructing us looks like
Every matter differs. These are the steps this practice takes as a matter of course, before anything is filed.
We read the complaint and the notice before anyone answers either.
Representations to the investigating officer, and to the higher officer where the investigation has gone off the rails.
Anticipatory bail moved early, not after the knock on the door.
Where the complaint should never have been registered, a quash petition under Section 528 BNSS.
Within This Practice
Pre-Charge
Responding to a Police Complaint
A considered written reply to an FIR or a CSR, filed with the station and copied upward, so the record carries your account and not only the complainant's.
Anticipatory Bail
Section 482 BNSS applications before the Sessions Court and the High Court, with conditions argued down to what you can actually comply with.
Notice to Appear
Attendance at the station under a Section 35 BNSS notice, with counsel present and the questioning kept inside what the law permits.
Quashing a False Case
Petitions to quash an FIR that discloses no offence, is barred by limitation, or is a civil dispute dressed as a crime.
Investigation Monitoring
Where an investigation is stalled or one-sided, applications to have it monitored, transferred, or carried out under a court's direction.
Talk to us about your matter
Bring the papers, or send them on WhatsApp. The first conversation is about what can actually be done, how long it takes, and what it will cost — before you commit to anything.
