Criminal Defense FAQs
If arrested, remain calm and exercise your right to remain silent beyond providing basic identification. You have the right to legal representation — contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately. Do not sign any documents or make any statements without your attorney present. Under Nepal's law, you must be presented before a judge within 24 hours of arrest.
Bail in Nepal allows an accused person to be released from custody pending trial. The court considers the nature and severity of the offence, the accused's criminal history, flight risk, and community ties. For most non-serious offences, bail is available. Our attorneys file bail applications immediately and argue persuasively for your release.
Yes, criminal convictions can be appealed to the High Court within 70 days of the district court's judgment. Further appeals to the Supreme Court are possible on questions of law. Our appellate team reviews trial records thoroughly to identify grounds for appeal and works to overturn unjust convictions or reduce sentences.
Bailable offences are less serious crimes where the accused has a right to bail. Non-bailable offences are serious crimes (such as murder, kidnapping, or major fraud) where bail is at the court's discretion. Even in non-bailable cases, our attorneys can argue for bail based on health grounds, lengthy pre-trial detention, or other mitigating factors.
