CRIMINAL LAW PRACTICE
Criminal law addresses offences against individuals and society, balancing the rights of the accused with the protection of victims and the community. In India, the enactment of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 has reshaped the framework of criminal justice, introducing new provisions for offences, investigation, and evidence.
Our work in criminal law covers a wide range of matters before trial courts, appellate courts, and the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana. The scope of services includes:
-
Bail proceedings, including anticipatory bail, regular bail, and suspension of sentence.
-
Criminal trials and appeals under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and special legislations such as the NDPS Act, POCSO Act, and Prevention of Corruption Act.
-
Proceedings involving economic offences, cheque dishonour under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and cyber crime.
-
Petitions for quashing of FIRs or criminal proceedings before High Courts.
-
Representation of complainants and victims, including filing of criminal complaints and assistance in FIR registration.
Criminal matters are addressed with emphasis on legal research, structured drafting, and presentation before the appropriate forum. Each case requires close attention to statutory provisions, procedural safeguards, and constitutional protections under Article 21, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty.
The practice of criminal law is not limited to defending the accused but extends to ensuring that victims are heard and remedies are pursued in accordance with law. The approach remains focused on due process, fairness, and accountability, reflecting the larger responsibility of the legal profession within the criminal justice system.
