Criminal Litigation
Commercial and property disputes increasingly spill into criminal complaints — cheating, breach of trust, forgery — and the stakes there are personal, not just financial. We handle criminal matters connected to commercial and real-estate disputes with discretion and rigour, from bail and anticipatory bail to quashing of mala fide complaints and trial defence.

Frequently asked questions
Where a complaint is essentially a civil dispute dressed up as a crime, it can often be challenged — including through a petition to quash — and anticipatory bail can protect you in the meantime. Early action is important.
