Criminal litigation deals with cases involving allegations of offences punishable under criminal law. It includes proceedings from the initial complaint or investigation stage through trial and, where applicable, appeal or revision. Criminal defence focuses on protecting the legal and constitutional rights of an accused person and ensuring that the prosecution proves its case in accordance with law.
Anticipatory bail is a pre-arrest legal remedy available to a person who has a reasonable apprehension of being arrested for a non-bailable offence. When granted by a competent court, it generally provides protection against custody in the event of arrest, subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the court.
Regular bail is the conditional release of a person who has been arrested or is in custody during investigation or trial. The court considers factors such as the nature of the allegations, the stage of the case, the possibility of interference with the investigation, and other relevant circumstances.
A criminal appeal is a statutory remedy used to challenge a conviction, acquittal, sentence, or other appealable order before a higher court. A criminal revision is generally a supervisory remedy through which a higher court examines the legality, correctness, or propriety of an order passed by a subordinate court.
Habeas Corpus is an important constitutional remedy used where a person is alleged to be illegally or unlawfully detained. The court may require the detaining authority to produce the person and explain the legal basis of the detention.
A criminal complaint sets out allegations regarding the commission of an offence and seeks action in accordance with criminal law. Depending on the nature of the offence and applicable procedure, the matter may proceed before the police, a Magistrate, or another competent authority.
Cheating and fraud-related offences generally involve dishonest or deceptive conduct resulting in wrongful gain, wrongful loss, inducement, or deception of another person. Depending on the facts and the applicable criminal law, such matters may involve allegations relating to financial fraud, misrepresentation, breach of trust, forgery, use of forged documents, impersonation, or other dishonest acts. The nature of the transaction, intention of the parties, documentary evidence, and surrounding circumstances are often important in determining whether criminal liability is made out.
Cybercrime covers offences committed through or against computers, digital devices, networks, or online platforms. Common examples include phishing, identity theft, online impersonation, unauthorised access, digital financial fraud, and other technology-enabled offences.
A criminal investigation is the process through which investigating authorities collect evidence, record statements, examine material, and determine whether an offence appears to have been committed. An FIR is the formal recording of information relating to a cognizable offence, where registration is required under the applicable law.
