FAQs
Criminal Law: common questions
What should I do if I receive a police notice?
Contact an advocate before responding. We will explain your rights, the purpose of the notice and how to cooperate while protecting your interests.
Can a false case be quashed?
The High Court has inherent powers to quash proceedings that are an abuse of process. Whether this is appropriate depends on the facts and on the record.
Do the new criminal laws affect my case?
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Sakshya Adhiniyam replaced the earlier codes from July 2024. Which law applies can depend on when the offence occurred, and we advise accordingly.
Will you appear in courts outside Hyderabad?
Yes. We appear before courts across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, including both High Courts.
