Core Criminal Law Principles I Uphold in Every Case

With over a decade of courtroom experience, I firmly believe that defending an accused is not just about legal representation—it’s about upholding justice and constitutional values. Here are the key legal principles I apply in every criminal case:

  1. Presumption of Innocence: Every individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. This foundational principle ensures that no one is unfairly treated without evidence.
  2. Protection from Double Jeopardy: A person cannot be prosecuted or punished twice for the same offense. This constitutional right protects against repeated harassment.
  3. Right against Self-Incrimination: No one can be forced to confess or testify against themselves in a criminal proceeding. The law respects your right to remain silent.
  4. Right to Legal Representation: Every accused has the right to engage a lawyer of their choice to defend their case and ensure fair trial procedures.
  5. Compounding of Offenses: Serious crimes are non-compoundable, meaning they cannot be settled privately. The law mandates a full judicial process to ensure justice.
  6. Juvenile Justice Protection: Offenders below the age of 18 are not tried in regular courts. They are brought before Juvenile Justice Boards for rehabilitation-focused proceedings.
  7. Right to Fair & Speedy Trial: Every accused is entitled to a trial that is fair, transparent, and conducted without unnecessary delay, as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.
  8. Bail over Jail: In Indian criminal jurisprudence, bail is the rule, jail is the exception. I work to secure liberty for my clients through appropriate bail petitions.
  9. The Death Penalty Principle: The death sentence is imposed only in the ‘rarest of rare’ cases, after exhaustive judicial scrutiny and in full compliance with legal safeguards.

Criminal Law Services – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should I do if an FIR has been filed against me?

If an FIR has been filed, contact a criminal lawyer immediately. I will review the FIR, assess the charges, and if required, file for anticipatory bail to prevent arrest or seek quashing of the FIR in appropriate cases.

Can I get bail for serious criminal offenses?

Yes, in most cases, bail is possible depending on the nature of the offense, the evidence, and the stage of investigation. I specialize in regular bail, anticipatory bail, and bail in NDPS or KCOCA cases, and represent clients before Magistrate, Sessions, and High Court.

What is anticipatory bail and when can I apply for it?

Anticipatory bail is legal protection from arrest when you suspect you may be falsely implicated. It must be applied before arrest, ideally soon after learning about the complaint or FIR. I help clients file anticipatory bail petitions with strategic legal grounds.

Can an FIR be quashed?

Yes, under Section 482 of CrPC, the High Court can quash FIRs that are baseless, malicious, or filed with ulterior motives. I analyse the merits of your case and file appropriate petitions before the Karnataka High Court.

How long does a criminal trial take in India?

Criminal trials vary in duration depending on case complexity, evidence, and court workload. Minor offenses may conclude in months; serious charges like murder or NDPS may take 2–5 years. I keep clients informed at every stage of the case.

Do you handle high-profile or serious cases like murder or drug peddling?

Yes, I have extensive experience in handling murder trials, NDPS cases, and even organized crime charges under KCOCA. I ensure strategic planning, proper bail filing, and aggressive courtroom defense for such matters.

What happens after someone is arrested in a criminal case?

Once arrested, the accused must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours. I work to ensure bail is filed promptly, legal rights are protected, and family is kept informed. Post-arrest, I handle trial preparation, defense, and appeals if needed.

Can I get legal help if I have been falsely accused?

Absolutely. False accusations are unfortunately common, especially in family or property disputes. I file bail applications, file counter-complaints, and initiate FIR quashing procedures where justified.

Do you handle criminal appeals and revisions?

Yes. If you’ve been convicted or dissatisfied with a lower court’s judgment, I can file criminal appeals or revisions in the Sessions Court or High Court for review and relief.

How do I book a consultation with you?
