The panic of having a criminal allegation appear out of nowhere and being arrested at your home without prior warning is truly terrifying. Many people assume that merely visiting the police stationhouse to “settle” the matter will resolve the problem.
However, appearing at a police stationhouse for questioning without legal representation provides law enforcement with all of the necessary statement(s) to request immediate remand. Procedural compliance in transitioning from a Preliminary Inquiry to a Formal Registration is critical. According to the Statutory Guidelines, police are generally supposed to provide you with notice prior to arresting you in cases where the maximum sentence for the offense(s) charged is less than 7 years. Unfortunately, many investigating agencies fail to adhere to these guidelines and instead, if they perceive an individual as vulnerable, they will proceed with an arrest. The involvement of an experienced Criminal Lawyer in Pune prior to any stationhouse visit will ensure that your rights are protected from potential arbitrary police actions. Consulting a specialized lawyer in Pune to manage the authorities and lock down your protective filings early prevents an escalating situation from turning into an unmanageable custody battle
