Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply for bail before I am arrested?
Anticipatory bail is a remedy that may be available where a person apprehends arrest in a non-bailable offence. Whether it is available and advisable depends on the facts, and the decision rests with the court.
What should I do if I receive a police notice?
Do not ignore it. Keep a copy, note the date, time and officer’s details, and speak to an advocate before responding or appearing, so that you understand the nature of the inquiry and your rights.
Can an FIR be cancelled?
In certain cases the High Court can quash an FIR or proceedings, for example where the allegations do not disclose an offence or where a dispute has been genuinely settled and the offence is of a kind the courts permit to be quashed. Each case turns on its own facts.
These answers are general information, not legal advice. Laws, statutory periods and procedures should be checked by an advocate before publication and applied to the facts of each matter.
