About Criminal Defense
If you’re dealing with criminal charges, things can get confusing fast. I cut through the 'bhram' (misconceptions) and help you see your real options, not just the internet gyaan (advice). My approach is straight up - we focus on solid documentation and a clear plan.
Bail: The Urgent Step
If someone’s been arrested, the first thing is always, ‘Ab kya karein?’ (What now?). I act quick to file bail and build arguments around parity (if others got bail, why not you?), case merits, and humanitarian reasons like health or family situation. Bail in NDPS case defense strategies is tough, but I know the angles – from challenging ‘conscious possession’ to exposing procedural lapses.
Fighting False Allegations
Law can be misused. I handle false 498A defense for family disputes, and dig deep in cheque bounce cases – checking if the complainant really had the means, and if signatures match. For false rape allegations, I use legal precedents to show when relationships are twisted into criminal accusations.
Police Not Cooperating?
Sometimes the police won’t register your FIR. Don’t worry. We start with a written complaint, escalate to the SP, and if needed, go to court for orders. Challenging FIR registration denial is part of what I do.
Court Hearings Matter
Missing a hearing is risky. Choti choti galtiyan (small mistakes) like skipping court dates can really mess up your case.
Cybercrime & Online Fraud
If you’re hit by online fraud, call 1930 and inform your bank fast. I help challenge account freezes using RBI rules so you can access your money again.
