Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is anticipatory bail and how do I apply for it in Chandigarh? Ans. Anticipatory bail is a pre-arrest bail granted under Section 438 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023 — which replaced Section 438 CrPC. It protects a person from arrest in cases where an FIR has been filed or arrest is apprehended. In Chandigarh, anticipatory bail applications are filed at the Sessions Court or the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court considers the nature of the accusation, the applicant's antecedents, the possibility of fleeing, and potential witness tampering. Sapna Seth Law Office files anticipatory bail applications regularly at the P&H High Court and has a high rate of success in bail hearings.
2. What are the bail rules under the NDPS Act in Punjab and Haryana? Ans. Bail in NDPS Act cases is governed by Section 37 of the NDPS Act, which imposes a stringent reverse burden — the court must be satisfied that the accused is not guilty and will not commit any offence while on bail. This makes NDPS bail far more difficult to obtain than regular bail. However, bail is still possible when: the quantity recovered is below commercial quantity (small or intermediate), the search and seizure was conducted without following proper procedure under Section 50 NDPS Act, or the chain of custody for the seized substance is broken. Our criminal lawyers in Chandigarh are experienced in identifying these technical and procedural grounds to secure bail even in serious NDPS matters.
3. Is the IPC still applicable or has it been replaced? Ans The Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1860 was completely replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, effective 1 July 2024. The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1973 was replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, and the Indian Evidence Act was replaced by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) 2023. Cases registered before 1 July 2024 continue under the old laws; new FIRs are registered under BNS 2023. Sapna Seth Law Office handles criminal defence under both frameworks.
4. How do I get an FIR quashed at Punjab and Haryana High Court? Ans FIR quashing in Chandigarh is filed under Section 528 of the BNSS 2023 (formerly Section 482 CrPC) before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Common grounds include: no prima facie offence disclosed in the FIR, the complaint is a civil matter dressed as a criminal case, the FIR is filed out of malice or personal rivalry, the accused and complainant have settled the matter, or the FIR is frivolous and vexatious. The High Court has wide inherent powers to quash FIRs to prevent abuse of the legal process. Sapna Seth Law Office regularly files quashing petitions at the P&H High Court, Chandigarh.
5. What should I do if I receive a police notice or summons in Chandigarh? Ans. If you receive a notice under Section 35 BNSS (formerly Section 41A CrPC) or any summons from a Chandigarh police station or court, do not ignore it and do not appear without legal counsel. Contact Sapna Seth Law Office immediately. Responding to a police notice without a lawyer present can result in statements being used against you in court. Our team will review the notice, advise on whether to appear or apply for bail first, and accompany you or represent you if required.
6. How long does a criminal trial typically take at Chandigarh District Courts? Ans. The duration of a criminal trial in Chandigarh depends on the nature of the offence, the number of witnesses, and court scheduling. Summary trials under BNSS are typically completed in 3–6 months. Sessions triable offences (murder, rape, NDPS commercial quantity) can take 2–5 years. Cases involving economic offences or extensive document evidence may take longer. At Sapna Seth Law Office, we actively manage case timelines and file applications to expedite hearings wherever possible.
