Our Approach to Criminal Defence 

There is a systematic way of evaluating the accusations and evidence in criminal defence cases. Firstly, it entails comprehension of the grievance or FIR, the examination of pertinent documents and determining the procedural phase of the complaint.

The defence may then be the review of inconsistencies between statements, to question the admissibility or reliability of evidence, to look at procedural weaknesses in the case and decide if there is any bail, quashing, discharge, revision, appeal or other remedy available.

Frequently Asked Questions

If an FIR is filed against me then what shall I do?

The duration of each case varies according to the type of criminal case.
