Criminal / Cyber Disputes

Our criminal defence work covers anticipatory bail and regular bail applications, quashing of FIRs and charge sheets under Section 528 BNSS, trials before the Magistrate and the Sessions Court, appeals before the High Court, and special leave petitions before the Supreme Court of India. We appear in matters under the Indian Penal Code and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, the Prevention of Corruption Act, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

On the cybercrime side we handle cases under the Information Technology Act, 2000, including online fraud, hacking, identity theft, cyberstalking, morphed images, and digital evidence disputes. We advise on the preservation and production of electronic evidence and on the admissibility of digital records under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. We also act in cheque dishonour cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which are among the most commonly litigated criminal matters in India.

For complainants we advise on the steps to take after a crime, on the filing of complaints before the police and the Magistrate, on private complaints, and on the remedies available where the police fail to act. We also appear for the complainant in trial proceedings where the law permits.
