Matrimonial disputes frequently extend beyond the jurisdiction of the Family Court and give rise to parallel criminal proceedings. Allegations relating to cruelty, dowry demands, domestic violence, criminal intimidation, breach of trust, harassment and other offences often result in the registration of criminal cases that proceed simultaneously with divorce, maintenance, custody and other matrimonial proceedings.

​

The intersection of matrimonial and criminal law presents unique procedural and strategic challenges. Criminal investigations, anticipatory bail proceedings, quashing petitions, trial proceedings and appellate remedies frequently operate alongside pending family court litigation, requiring careful assessment of both the evidentiary record and the broader litigation landscape.

​

We represent parties in criminal proceedings arising out of matrimonial disputes before Trial Courts, Sessions Courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court of India, including matters involving anticipatory bail, regular bail, FIR quashing, criminal trials, appeals and constitutional remedies.
