Every individual accused of a criminal offence in India is entitled to a fair process. From the moment an investigation begins, you hold constitutional protections that cannot be waived by law enforcement. Being aware of these safeguards helps you make informed decisions, reduces the chances of procedural irregularities, and strengthens your defense.
The Right to Remain Silent
You are not obliged to answer incriminating questions posed by the police. Article 20(3) of the Constitution safeguards your right against self-incrimination. Politely insisting on consulting your lawyer before responding ensures that statements are made with full knowledge of their implications.
The Right to Legal Counsel
Access to a lawyer is not a privilege—it is your legal right. Whether during questioning, bail hearings, or trial preparation, professional counsel ensures due process is followed. At J & S Attorney Alliance, we provide end-to-end representation, from the first notice to final resolution.
Protection During Arrest
Arrests must comply with procedures laid out in the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). You are entitled to know the grounds of arrest, to inform a relative or friend, and to be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours. Any deviation can be challenged in court.
Building a Strong Defense
A robust defense strategy begins with documentation and timely legal intervention. Our criminal law specialists review investigative material, file anticipatory bail when necessary, and represent clients at every hearing to secure the best possible outcome.
