Criminal Litigation

Q: How are criminal fees set?

Bail work is fixed-fee. Trials are quoted in stages — framing, prosecution evidence, defence evidence, arguments — so the cost of each phase is known before it begins.

Q: Can an FIR be quashed?

Where it discloses no offence, is barred by law, or is plainly mala fide, yes — by petition under Article 199. Where it does disclose an offence, the answer lies at trial, and we will say which of the two you are facing.

We defend at every stage of a criminal matter — from the registration or quashment of an FIR and the first bail application, through trial before the Sessions and Special Courts, to appeal and revision before the High Courts and the Supreme Court.

Common questions

Can you act on the day of arrest?

Yes. A duty advocate is available at all hours and can attend the police station and file for bail the same working day.
