Criminal Defense & Prosecution Lawyers in Bangalore for Bail, Trial & Appeals

From 1 July 2024, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) replaced the IPC, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) replaced the CrPC, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaced the Evidence Act. We advise under both the old and new frameworks depending on when the offence occurred.

An arrested person must be produced before a Magistrate within 24 hours, and has the right to know the grounds of arrest, to consult a lawyer, and to apply for bail. We act immediately to secure bail and ensure your rights are protected.

Yes. We defend cases involving fraud, cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery, and offences under special statutes, as well as proceedings before economic-offence and investigative agencies. These matters need careful document handling and an early, considered strategy.

Some offences are compoundable and can be settled with the complainant's consent and court permission, while serious offences are not. Even where compromise is not possible, plea and sentencing strategies may be available, and we advise on the best lawful route.

In bailable offences bail is a matter of right and is usually granted by the police or court on furnishing a bond. In non-bailable offences bail is at the court's discretion based on the gravity of the allegations, evidence, and risk factors.

A criminal trial typically moves through FIR and investigation, filing of the charge sheet, framing of charges, prosecution evidence, statement of the accused, defence evidence, final arguments, and judgment. We prepare thoroughly at each stage to build the strongest defence.

In cognizable offences the police can arrest without a warrant, while in non-cognizable matters a warrant is generally required. Recent law also emphasises notice of appearance in many cases instead of automatic arrest. We advise on your specific situation.

A charge sheet is the final report the police file after investigation, setting out the evidence and the accused against whom charges are proposed. Reviewing it carefully is critical, as gaps in the charge sheet often form the basis of a strong defence or discharge.

Victims and complainants can file complaints, pursue private complaints before a Magistrate, oppose bail, and seek proper investigation. We represent complainants to ensure the case is presented forcefully and that the accused is held accountable.

A person falsely implicated can seek quashing, acquittal, and in appropriate cases pursue action for false complaint, malicious prosecution, or defamation. Our priority is first to protect you, then to consider remedies against those who misused the process.

Non-appearance can lead to a warrant or cancellation of bail, but the situation is often retrievable by promptly approaching the court with a proper explanation and fresh application. Act quickly and through a lawyer to avoid escalation.

Yes. We handle online fraud, hacking, identity theft, defamation, and other offences under the Information Technology Act and the new criminal laws, for both accused persons and victims seeking action.

An acquittal or discharge generally means you are not treated as convicted, though records of the case may exist. We can advise on the implications for employment, travel, and licences, and on remedies in appropriate cases.

It is wise to consult a lawyer before giving statements, because anything said can affect your case. You have the right to legal advice, and we can guide you on how to cooperate with the investigation while protecting your interests.

We bring discreet, strategic, and round-the-clock criminal defence, with strong courtroom representation and a focus on protecting your liberty and reputation. Every matter is handled confidentially and with urgency.
