Procedural Insights

Frequently Asked Questions on Criminal Defense

What is the difference between Section 438 CrPC and Section 482 BNSS?

Under India's new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), Section 482 replaces the former Section 438 of the CrPC for Anticipatory Bail. The substantive judicial considerations remain anchored in protecting individual liberty, evaluating gravity of accusation, and preventing custodial harassment, with updated procedural compliance rules in Gujarat courts.

How can a company director defend against Section 106 BNS following a factory mishap?

Section 106 of BNS (causing death by negligence) requires the prosecution to prove direct, gross, or culpable negligence. Advocate Rashesh Patel, with 25 years of chemical manufacturing experience, conducts prompt technical audits of factory SOPs, safety permits, and DISH records to establish statutory compliance and secure immediate anticipatory bail from the Sessions Court.

Can an FIR be quashed if a civil dispute was converted into a criminal case?

Yes. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that criminal proceedings cannot be used as a weapon of arm-twisting to resolve purely commercial or contract breaches. We move discharge applications under Section 250 / 262 BNSS and bail defense before the Sessions Court demonstrating that the ingredients of cheating or breach of trust are absent.
