Cyber crime defence
Cyber matters are now the fastest-growing category of FIR in Gurugram, and they are charged under a mix of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The chamber defends allegations of:
- Online cheating, UPI fraud, fake investment and trading app cases
- Identity theft and impersonation (IT Act ss. 66C and 66D)
- Unauthorised access, data theft and hacking allegations against employees
- Obscene or sexually explicit material online (IT Act ss. 67, 67A, 67B)
- Defamatory posts, cyber stalking and harassment complaints
- Loan-app harassment cases and mule-account allegations, where an accused's bank account has been frozen for someone else's fraud
Electronic evidence must be certified before it proves anything. A large part of the defence is testing how the phone, laptop or server logs were seized, hashed and certified — and whether the chain holds.
Bail and anticipatory bail
Bail is not a formality; it is argued on the specific reason the prosecution gives for wanting custody. The chamber files and argues:
- Anticipatory bail — protection before arrest, where an FIR exists or is expected
- Regular bail — after arrest, before the Magistrate or Sessions Court
- Interim bail and interim protection — where the matter cannot wait for a full hearing
- Default bail — where the investigating agency has failed to file the charge sheet in time
- Bail in the High Court, and opposition to cancellation applications
Bring the FIR number, the police station, the sections and any notice served on you. If a family member has been picked up, the arrest memo and the place of detention are enough to start.
Criminal trials
Defence from the investigation stage through to judgment: appearance during police custody and remand, arguments on framing of charge and discharge, cross-examination of prosecution witnesses, defence evidence, and final arguments. Appeals and revisions are filed where the finding does not survive scrutiny.
Economic offences
Cheating and forgery cases, criminal breach of trust, cheque dishonour prosecutions under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, builder and real-estate disputes that have turned criminal, and matters investigated by the Economic Offences Wing. These files are document-heavy, and they are won on documents.
Quashing and FIR relief
Where an FIR is a civil dispute in criminal clothing, or a settled matter that should not continue, a petition to quash it can be moved in the High Court. The chamber also handles applications for protection during investigation, transfer of investigation, and directions where a complaint is being used as pressure.
If you are the one who was defrauded
Victim-side cyber work is time-sensitive. Money moved out of an account can often be held if the complaint reaches the right place quickly.
- Report on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or call the cyber financial fraud helpline 1930 — the sooner, the better
- Keep the transaction ID, the UPI or account details used, and every screenshot
- Write to the bank in the same breath, asking for the transfer to be held
The chamber assists with drafting the complaint, following it up with the investigating officer, and moving the court for release or restoration of funds.
Bring these to the first meeting
- FIR copy or FIR number, with the police station name
- Any notice, summons or arrest memo
- Bank statements and transaction records, for financial matters
- Screenshots, emails and chat exports, for cyber matters — originals, not forwards
