EARLY ASSESSMENT MATTERS

Liberty, reputation
and procedure.

Criminal matters can develop quickly and may affect liberty, reputation, career, finances, personal life and business operations.

We assist complainants, accused persons, people under investigation, families and businesses. Strategy begins with the actual allegations, available evidence, procedural stage, urgency and applicable law.

An FIR is ordinarily recorded by police based on information concerning a cognizable offence. Our role may include preparing complaints or representations and assisting with FIR-related process and remedies.

CIVIL OR CRIMINAL?

The distinction
must be assessed.

A contractual disagreement or unpaid amount does not automatically become a criminal offence.

Civil law generally concerns private rights and remedies such as contracts, property, recovery, damages or performance. Criminal law concerns conduct alleged to constitute an offence and may involve investigation and prosecution. Some facts can raise both sets of issues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Criminal procedure,
carefully explained.

Every matter requires individual review based on the allegation, evidence, stage, jurisdiction and applicable procedure.

What should I do if police contact me?

Understand why you have been contacted, do not ignore formal communications, preserve relevant records and obtain advice appropriate to the circumstances.

What is anticipatory bail?

It is pre-arrest protection available in appropriate circumstances under applicable criminal procedure. Availability depends on the allegations, facts, jurisdiction and procedural requirements.

Can a lawyer assist before an FIR is registered?

Depending on the circumstances, assistance may be useful at the complaint, notice, pre-investigation or pre-arrest stage.

Can a business dispute become a criminal case?

Potentially, but breach of contract or failure to pay does not automatically constitute a criminal offence. The legal ingredients must be assessed independently.

What should I do with electronic evidence?

Preserve it in its existing form. Do not delete, edit, fabricate or manipulate potentially relevant material.

Does being named in an FIR mean guilt?

No. An allegation or registration of a criminal case is not a determination of guilt. Responsibility is determined through the applicable legal process.
