Criminal Litigation
There two broad categories in Criminal Litigation; the withdrawal, reduction of charges and mitigation of a guilty plea and a full defence to a criminal charge.
In the first category, clients may agree that they may be liable under the circumstances but the charge could be exessive, or, indeed the facts may not even warrant such a serious charge. We would then represent the client to try to either get the charge or charges withdrawn or reduced to a more appropriate charge. If the client then proceeds to plead guilty, we will then assist in the client in the sentencing process.
In the second category, clients do not agree to the charge and want to prove their innocence, in which case, we will represent the client through the process of the criminal litigation procedure all the way to trial, and thereafter appeal, if necessary.
We have represented clients in the following cases:
- Companies Act offences
- Computer Misuse Act offences
- Corruption
- Departmental summonses and corporate fraud case
- Drug consumption
- Factories Act offences
- Harbouring and employment of immigration offenders and foreign workers
- Illegal money lending
- Medical/Industrial accidents
- Penal Code offences (cheating, maid abuse, causing hurt, outraging of modesty)
- Road Traffic cases
- Technical as well as violent crime offences
- White-collar crimes
