Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best criminal lawyer in Chennai for bail?
Advocate Sharulatha and the team at Velan Law Associates are regularly engaged for bail and anticipatory bail matters before the Sessions Courts and Madras High Court in Chennai. Many bail applications are decided within 7–15 days.
What is anticipatory bail and when should I apply?
Anticipatory bail (Section 438 CrPC / Section 482 BNSS) is pre-arrest protection. You should apply immediately when you reasonably apprehend arrest in a non-bailable offence — even before an FIR is registered if a complaint has been made.
Can an FIR be quashed in Chennai?
Yes. The Madras High Court can quash an FIR under Section 482 CrPC (Section 528 BNSS) in cases of false FIR, settlement between parties (in compoundable offences), abuse of process or absence of prima facie case. We regularly file FIR quashing petitions.
How much does a criminal lawyer in Chennai cost?
Bail and anticipatory bail packages start at a transparent flat fee, communicated upfront. Trial and High Court matters are quoted per stage with a written engagement letter — no hidden charges.
Do you handle cheque bounce (Section 138) and cyber-crime cases?
Yes. We handle Section 138 NI Act complaints (both complainant and accused side), IT Act / Section 66 cyber offences, online fraud, sextortion and digital arrest defence across Chennai.
Are consultations confidential?
Absolutely. Every consultation with our Chennai criminal lawyers is protected by advocate-client privilege under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act and Section 132 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.
