After getting anticipatory bail from Session or high court, most likely the person need to join investigation and he need to file bail bonds up to satisfaction of Investigative officer or Concern Chief Judicial Magistrate like if in Chandigarh or in Panchkula District court. It would be Chief Judicial Magistrate of Chandigarh or Panchkula District court.

REGULAR BAIL  –

If someone has been arrested by the police in a criminal case, such as immigration offenses, Section 498-A (dowry-related issues), fraud, cheating, criminal conspiracy, economic offenses, crimes related to property, marriage-related offenses, land grabbing, rape, murder, dacoity, or any white-collar crime like a chit fund scam or builder fraud, they have the legal right to apply for regular bail. Initially, a regular bail application should be filed in the concerned court, where the trial is taking place. If the court denies bail, the next step is to appeal to the higher courts, including the concerned Hon’ble High Court.
For instance, if a person is arrested within the jurisdiction of the District Court in Chandigarh, the trial would typically be conducted by the Judicial Magistrate First Class. In this case, the bail application would first be submitted to the Judicial Magistrate in Chandigarh. However, if the case is to be tried by the Sessions Court, the bail application must be filed directly at the Sessions Court in Chandigarh. If the bail is denied at this level, the person may approach the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana in Chandigarh. Generally, there are good chances of securing regular bail for less serious offenses after some time, while more severe offenses, like murder or financial scams, may take longer before bail is granted by the District Court or the High Court.

QUASHING OF FIR

Advocate Vikram Singh and Associate, one of best Criminal defense law firm practicing in Chandigarh high court, it is our endeavor to educate, inform and provide sound free legal advice in Chandigarh to innocent persons, who are getting victimized by criminal justice system and who are in need of affordable lawyers, to present their case before competent court of law and get them fair chance to protect their life and liberty so that they can lead a peaceful life.

HOW IT WORKS

In cases involving complaints of cognizable offenses, it is the duty of the police to register a First Information Report (FIR), initiate an investigation, and ensure justice for the complainant. However, it is not uncommon for false FIRs to be filed by the police for various reasons, leading to innocent individuals suffering and facing long, drawn-out trials. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and various High Courts have observed that false FIRs are sometimes registered under specific sections of the law, such as:

Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC): Dowry-related complaints.
Sections 420 and 406 of the IPC: Complaints related to forgery and cheating.
Sections 363 and 376 of the IPC: Serious offenses such as kidnapping and rape.
While these laws are crucial for the protection of genuine victims and have been enacted to punish offenders, they are sometimes misused by complainants to settle personal disputes. False accusations can lead to the police framing innocent people as accomplices to the main accused in serious crimes. Unfortunately, this can result in wrongful punishment at the end of the trial, even when there is no fault on the part of the accused.

At Advocate Vikram Singh and Associates, we understand the complexities of such cases, especially in light of the new provisions introduced in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023. Our experienced legal team in Chandigarh focuses on defending individuals against false accusations and ensuring that justice is served. We provide expert legal advice and representation to protect the rights of those wrongfully accused and help them navigate the legal process effectively.

QUASHING OF FIR

There are options available with innocent person if he is framed in false FIR under different offences provided under law. He can approach Hon’ble High court for Quashing of FIR under section 482 of Criminal procedure Code. Quashing proceeding before Hon’ble high court can be segregated under two classifications further –

1. Quashing of First information report (FIR)on the basis of compromise– Both of these Quashing proceedings / petitions are to be filed under section 482 of Criminal procedure code before Concerned High court only. As name suggest, In this kind of quashing, FIR got quashed on basis of compromise between the parties, this kind of quashing is mostly used in Quashing of FIR involving white collar Crime  or  Financial Crime, Offence  under  section 498- A, 406,  420  of  IPC  or   any other offence Compoundable with permission of court. This Quashing of FIR cannot be done by Hon’ble high court, in serious cases such as Murder, sedition, Gang rape etc
2. Quashing of First information report (FIR) or Criminal complaint or Summoning order on merit of    case – This kind of quashing is done on merit or demerit of the FIR, Hon’ble Supreme Court has ruled in number of cases that the High Court can quash an FIR against a person if it did not prima facie disclose any offence or on any technical ground. if upon the admitted facts and the documents relied upon by police or complainant in his complaint, presented before the court in form of Challan or criminal complaint respectively and on careful examination of them by court, the court reaches to conclusion that from facts mentioned therein, no case is made out on face of it then Hon’ble high court can Quash FIR or criminal complaint in question and all further proceedings.

DIRECTION UNDER SECTION 482 OF CR.PC

AS the name suggest, if the High court finds that there is some thing wrong is going before District courts or state police is not taking action as per law or exercising powers beyond there authority then Hon’ble High court can issue directions to concerned lower court or to police authority to act as per law. Section 482 of Cr.PC gave inherent powers to High court, which  provide for Saving of inherent powers of High Court and Nothing in this Code shall be deemed to limit or affect the inherent powers of the High Court to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order under this Code, or to prevent abuse of the process of any Court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice. High court can gave direction to any direction to any authority by invoking their inherent powers. Mostly these  powers were used in following circumstances –
