Frequently Asked Questions

Common Legal Questions
Answered

What should I do immediately after an FIR is filed against me? +

Contact a criminal defense advocate immediately. Do not make any statement to the police without legal counsel present. Engage an advocate who can review the FIR, advise on bail options, and protect your rights during investigation. Silence is your right under Article 20(3) of the Constitution.

What is anticipatory bail and when should I apply? +

Anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC is applied when you have reason to believe you may be arrested for a non-bailable offence. It should be applied BEFORE arrest. Courts grant it considering the nature of the offence, applicant's background, and likelihood of tampering with evidence. Act early — timing is critical.

Can an FIR be quashed? What is the process? +

Yes. Under Section 482 CrPC, the High Court has inherent power to quash an FIR if it is frivolous, malicious, or if the allegations do not make out a prima facie offence. A petition is filed before the High Court. The process requires an experienced advocate to draft compelling arguments and evidence supporting quashing.

What are my rights if I am arrested by the police? +

You have the right to: (1) be informed of the grounds of arrest, (2) consult and be defended by a legal practitioner, (3) be produced before a Magistrate within 24 hours, (4) not be compelled to be a witness against yourself, and (5) receive medical examination. Never waive these rights.

How long does a criminal case typically take in Pune courts? +

Duration varies significantly depending on the nature of the offence, number of witnesses, complexity of evidence, and court caseload. Simple matters may conclude in months; complex cases can take years. However, with an experienced advocate managing hearings proactively, timelines can be significantly reduced.

Is my consultation with Advocate Dhakane confidential? +

Absolutely. All consultations and client information are protected under attorney-client privilege — a fundamental principle of legal practice. Nothing you share with Advocate Dhakane will be disclosed to any third party without your explicit consent. Confidentiality is our cornerstone commitment.

What should I bring to my first consultation? +

Bring any documents related to your matter — copy of FIR, police notices, court summons, bail papers, or any written communications from police or courts. If you don't have documents yet, you can still meet for an initial consultation. An experienced advocate can begin advising you based on a verbal account of facts.
