Criminal Defence
“Protecting rights, representing individuals during police investigations, securing bail, defending against economic crimes, and providing robust trial and appellate defence across all court levels in Nepal.”
Overview
Navigating criminal proceedings requires immediate legal action, an understanding of statutory procedures, and strict protection of constitutional rights. Under Nepal’s National Criminal Code (Muluki Ain) and National Criminal Procedure Code 2074 (Muluki Faujdari Karyavidhi Samhita), early intervention during police custody (Hirasat) and pre-trial investigation is critical to protecting individual liberties.
At Singh Law Company, our Criminal Defence team provides defense strategies for individuals, corporate executives, and entities facing criminal charges. From securing pre-arrest bail and handling police interrogations to litigating complex white-collar crimes before trial courts and appellate authorities, we advocate to uphold procedural fairness and the presumption of innocence.
