Criminal Petitions
Criminal Petitions are filed before the High Court invoking its inherent or supervisory jurisdiction under the Code of Criminal Procedure or the Constitution. These petitions seek judicial intervention at interlocutory stages of criminal proceedings.
Such petitions are typically filed to prevent abuse of process, secure the ends of justice, or challenge procedural illegality during investigation or trial.
Quashing of FIRs or charge sheets
Seeking termination of criminal proceedings where allegations do not disclose a cognizable offence or amount to abuse of process.
Anticipatory or regular bail
Invoking the High Court’s jurisdiction in appropriate cases involving serious procedural or legal infirmities.
Transfer of investigation or trial
Seeking transfer where impartiality, fairness, or credibility of the process is demonstrably compromised.
Stay of criminal proceedings
Seeking interim protection to prevent irreversible prejudice pending adjudication of legal challenges.
