Criminal Law
Criminal proceedings involve investigation-stage processes, trial proceedings, and statutory remedies before trial courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court, subject to jurisdiction and maintainability. Professional work under this head may relate to defence and prosecution briefs, including matters arising from bailable and non-bailable offences, as well as complaintbased proceedings before Magistrate courts.
Work typically includes drafting and filing of criminal complaints/private complaints and connected applications, responses to statutory notices, summons, and procedural communications during investigation, and representation in bail and anticipatory bail proceedings. Where maintainable, work may also include petitions for quashing, discharge applications, and representation through trial stages, including evidence planning, witness examination and cross-examination, and submissions on charge and final arguments, in accordance with procedural requirements.
