Providing aggressive and result-oriented defense for all criminal charges in Delhi and NCR.
A criminal charge can destroy your reputation, your career, and your freedom — even before a verdict is reached. From the moment police register an FIR, every step of the criminal process matters: how and when to approach the court for bail, whether to challenge the FIR itself, and how to build a defence that dismantles the prosecution's case at trial. Our criminal defence advocates practice across all Delhi District Courts — Saket, Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Rohini, Dwarka, and Karkardooma — and before the Delhi High Court. We bring an aggressive, evidence-based approach to every matter, from first appearances to the final verdict.
Obtaining bail is often the most urgent priority. For Regular Bail (after arrest) and Anticipatory Bail (before arrest, under Section 438 CrPC / Section 482 BNSS), we move swiftly to file applications in the appropriate court. Our bail arguments are backed by thorough legal research on applicable judicial precedents, including the Supreme Court's recent guidelines on bail. We ensure the application addresses all key factors: the nature of the offence, the accused's antecedents, flight risk, and evidence of cooperation with the investigation.
Not every FIR merits a full trial. When an FIR is clearly false, malicious, or arises from a dispute that has been settled, the Delhi High Court can quash the FIR and all proceedings under Section 482 CrPC (now Section 528 BNSS). This is particularly effective in matrimonial cases (Section 498A, DV Act), cheque bounce disputes, commercial disagreements that have been criminalized, and property disputes. A successful quashing saves years of protracted litigation and eliminates the risk of conviction entirely.
Financial crimes including cheating (Section 420 IPC/BNS), criminal breach of trust, forgery, fraud, cyber crimes, money laundering (PMLA), and corporate fraud require a defence that understands both criminal law and complex financial forensics. We analyse financial transaction records, digital evidence, and audit reports to build a factual counter-narrative to the prosecution's case, and challenge improperly seized documents or illegally obtained electronic evidence.
When a matter proceeds to full trial, the quality of cross-examination and final arguments becomes decisive. Our advocates are skilled in exposing inconsistencies in witness testimonies, challenging the admissibility of evidence obtained in violation of procedure, and presenting mitigating circumstances that influence the outcome. We handle trials from the framing of charges to the final arguments, with a clear strategy aimed at securing an acquittal or, where appropriate, a minimum sentence.
Do not make any statements to police without consulting a lawyer. Contact us immediately so we can review the FIR, assess bail conditions, and advise on whether to apply for Anticipatory Bail (if not yet arrested) or Regular Bail (after arrest). Do not tamper with any evidence or contact prosecution witnesses. Preserve all documents and communications that may support your defence.
Yes, for cognizable offences (such as murder, theft, assault, rape), police can arrest without a warrant under Section 41 CrPC (Section 35 BNSS). However, the Supreme Court in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar has laid down strict guidelines limiting arrest in cases that do not warrant imprisonment over 7 years. For non-cognizable offences, police must obtain a warrant from a Magistrate before making an arrest.
Under Article 22 of the Constitution and Section 57 CrPC, police cannot detain an arrested person for more than 24 hours without producing them before the nearest Magistrate. The Magistrate can then grant police custody remand (up to 15 days total in most cases) for investigation. If you have been detained beyond 24 hours without Magistrate production, it is illegal and a Habeas Corpus petition can be filed in the High Court.
In a bailable offence (Schedule 1, CrPC), bail is a right of the accused and must be granted by police or the court if the conditions are met. In a non-bailable offence, bail is not a right but a discretion of the Magistrate or Sessions Court. The court considers factors like the gravity of the offence, the likelihood of the accused repeating the offence, flight risk, and the possibility of tampering with evidence before granting or denying bail.
