Criminal Law & Defence
Bail, quashing of proceedings, criminal appeals, and white-collar defence — including PMLA and UAPA matters.
How we work in this area
Criminal matters move on their own clock. Bail, custody and interim protection are decided long before anything is tried, and the decisions taken in those first weeks tend to shape everything that follows.
The firm appears in criminal matters at trial, revisional and appellate stages, including applications for quashing under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, regular and anticipatory bail, criminal appeals, and contempt proceedings.
Where criminal exposure runs alongside a company or commercial dispute — as it often does in shareholder and recovery litigation — the criminal and civil strategies are run together rather than in separate silos.
