Criminal Law
What is the Criminal Law?
Criminal law encompasses a diverse array of legal areas, each addressing specific offenses and violations under established statutes. This expansive branch of law includes cases of severe nature such as murder, attempted murder, and rape, as well as complex financial offenses like fraud, forgery, and cheating, often involving banks or financial institutions. Additionally, it encompasses cases handled by specialized investigative agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and matters related to company financial frauds or chit-funds.
​
Furthermore, criminal law extends to a range of legal procedures and appeals, including criminal trials, appeals, revisions, and writs. It involves securing anticipatory bail, regular bail, and addressing issues such as criminal breach of trust or dishonor of cheques under the Negotiable Instruments Act. The domain also covers cases pertaining to domestic violence, protection of Non-Resident Indians' (NRIs) life and liberty, and drafting and filing criminal complaints and FIRs to initiate legal proceedings.
​
Moreover, criminal law practitioners navigate intricate areas involving intellectual property rights (IPR), cyber laws, piracy, and violations under the Juvenile Justice Act, as well as matters related to misappropriation of funds, narcotics, and drug violations under the NDPS Act. They handle cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act, seeking quashing of criminal complaints, FIRs, and proceedings, while also dealing with Special Investigation Team (SIT) related cases and suspension of sentence matters.
​
Given the broad spectrum of criminal law, legal experts specializing in this domain provide comprehensive counsel and representation. Their expertise spans from addressing grave offenses to navigating complex financial and procedural intricacies inherent in criminal proceedings. These professionals play a pivotal role in advocating for clients' rights, ensuring diligent defense, and strategic navigation through the complexities of criminal law's diverse subtopics.
