Criminal matters — a plain overview
What to expect if you face a police complaint, FIR, or bail situation.
WhatsApp opens with your question already written. You just tap send.
Start with the facts
Write down dates, places, and names. Keep copies of any notice, FIR extract, or medical report. Do not alter documents.
FIR and police process
An FIR starts the police investigation for cognizable offences. You can request a free copy. If police refuse to register, there are higher remedies — an advocate can explain options for your district.

Bail, simply put
Bail is release from custody while the case continues. Conditions vary by offence. Never rely on anyone promising a “guaranteed” result.
