Overview
Focused counsel in Criminal Law matters.
A criminal case touches every part of your life — your liberty, your reputation and your peace of mind. From the first information report to the final order, you need counsel who acts quickly, advises honestly and stands firmly beside you at every hearing.
The practice covers the full breadth of criminal litigation: regular and anticipatory bail, quashing of false or malicious FIRs before the High Court, defence at trial, and appeals and revisions. Matters under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Negotiable Instruments Act, the NDPS Act, the POCSO Act and matrimonial offences such as Section 498A are handled with equal rigour.
Every matter is prepared meticulously and argued personally. You are kept informed in plain language — the merits, the risks and the realistic path ahead — so that you are never left guessing about your own case.
How a criminal matter proceeds: most cases begin with an FIR at the police station — or the fear of one. From that moment the law fixes a sequence: investigation and possible arrest, production before the Magistrate within twenty-four hours, remand or bail, the charge sheet, framing of charges, evidence, arguments and judgment. Knowing where you stand in that sequence — and what the next step will demand — is half the defence. At the first consultation you receive exactly that: a map of your own case.
Since July 2024, criminal law in India is governed by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which replaced the Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act. Many FIRs registered earlier continue under the old codes, so a single family’s matters may straddle both regimes. The chambers works in both daily — including bail under Section 480, anticipatory bail under Section 482 and quashing petitions invoking the High Court’s inherent powers under Section 528 of the BNSS.
On timelines: anticipatory and regular bail applications are typically listed within days, and urgent applications are moved on priority. An investigation must ordinarily conclude in sixty or ninety days depending on the offence — failing which the accused earns a statutory right to default bail. Trials themselves run longer, and an honest estimate is given once the charge sheet and evidence are on the record, not before.
The chambers appears daily before the District & Sessions Courts at Faridabad, and regularly at Gurugram, Palwal, Rohtak and Panipat, before the Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh in bail, quashing and revision matters, and before the Supreme Court of India through established counsel. Two decades in the Faridabad courts means familiarity with how each court actually functions — listing practices, the pace of a board, what a particular submission needs — which no outstation counsel can substitute.
On fees: criminal engagements are structured stage-wise — bail, trial, appeal — so you pay for the stage your matter is actually in, with the scope and fee recorded in writing before work begins. Court fees, certified copies and incidental expenses are accounted separately and transparently. The first consultation establishes the merits and the likely cost honestly, including when the right advice is that you do not need prolonged litigation at all.

Common Questions
Criminal Law, answered.
A few questions clients ask most often. If yours isn’t answered here, a short call will settle it — without obligation.
Speak with the chambers+91 9953482307I fear arrest — what should I do first?
Move an anticipatory bail application without delay. The earlier it is filed, the stronger your protection. Call the chambers and we will assess your matter the same day wherever possible.
Can a false FIR be cancelled?
Yes. A false, frivolous or malicious FIR can be quashed by the High Court under its inherent powers. The sooner the petition is moved, the better the prospects of relief.
How long does it take to get bail?
It depends on the nature of the offence and the court. Anticipatory and interim bail applications are often heard within days; we prepare and move them on priority for urgent matters.
Will my case remain confidential?
Entirely. Discretion is the foundation of the advocate–client relationship and is observed without exception, from your first enquiry onward.
Which courts do you appear before?
The District & Sessions Courts at Faridabad, Gurugram, Palwal, Rohtak and Panipat, the Punjab & Haryana High Court, and the Supreme Court of India.
What changed with the new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA)?
From 1 July 2024 the three new codes replaced the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act. Offences and section numbers have changed — Section 420 IPC cheating is now Section 318 BNS, for instance — and procedure has new timelines and provisions. FIRs registered before that date generally continue under the old law, so it matters which regime governs your case; we confirm that at the first reading of the FIR.
What happens immediately after an arrest?
The person must be produced before a Magistrate within twenty-four hours, where the question of police custody, judicial custody or bail is decided. The hours before that production matter — engaging counsel immediately means the bail application and the grounds against remand are ready when the matter is called.
What is default bail?
If the investigating agency fails to file its charge sheet within the statutory period — ordinarily sixty or ninety days depending on the offence — the accused becomes entitled to bail as of right. The right must be claimed before the charge sheet is filed, which is why the calendar is watched closely in every custody matter.
How are your fees structured for a criminal case?
Stage-wise: a defined fee for the bail stage, the trial and any appeal, agreed in writing before the engagement begins. Court expenses are separate and accounted transparently. You will never discover the cost of your own defence mid-way.
