Criminal Law

Criminal law is the foundation of a just society—it defines the boundaries of acceptable behavior and ensures that violations are addressed through a structured legal process. In India, criminal law governs a wide range of offences, from personal crimes like assault and theft to economic crimes, cyber offences, and white-collar misconduct. At our law firm, we offer strategic, proactive, and result-oriented representation in criminal law matters, ensuring the protection of our clients’ rights at every stage of the legal process.

We defend individuals and entities accused of criminal offences and also represent victims and complainants seeking justice. Whether the matter involves an FIR, investigation, trial, or appeal, our team is committed to ensuring due process, fair representation, and an unwavering pursuit of justice.

Overview of Criminal Law in India

Criminal law in India is primarily codified in the following legislations:

Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) – Defines offences and prescribes punishments.
Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) – Provides the procedural framework for criminal trials and investigations.
Indian Evidence Act, 1872 – Governs the admissibility of evidence in criminal proceedings.
Special Acts – Including Prevention of Corruption Act, NDPS Act, POCSO Act, Domestic Violence Act, UAPA, SC/ST Act, IT Act, and more.

Offences are classified as cognizable or non-cognizable, bailable or non-bailable, and are triable by different courts depending on their severity.
