Landmark judgments in Indian criminal law

1. Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (1978): This case expanded the interpretation of Article 21 of the Constitution, establishing that the right to life includes the right to live with human dignity.

2. D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997): Established guidelines for arrest and detention to prevent custodial violence and protect the rights of the accused.

3. Bachan Singh v. State of Punjab (1980): Introduced the "rarest of rare" doctrine for imposing the death penalty.

4. Nandini Satpathy v. P.L. Dani (1978): Reinforced the right against self-incrimination under Article 20(3) of the Constitution.

5. Lalita Kumari v. Government of Uttar Pradesh (2013): Mandated the registration of FIRs in cognizable offenses, enhancing access to justice.

Another landmark judgement we consider a foundational case for criminal law jurisprudence is the case of State of Maharashtra v. Suresh, which addressed the issue of circumstantial evidence in proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that circumstantial evidence must be complete and must exclude any other hypothesis except guilt. At Ulpian Legal, we leverage this precedent to meticulously analyze and construct defense strategies in cases involving circumstantial evidence. We use the principles established in this case to provide thorough legal counsel, ensuring our clients receive robust representation and fair treatment in the criminal justice system.

We prioritize client communication and transparency, ensuring that each client receives personalized guidance and support throughout their legal journey. At Ulpian Legal, we are committed to upholding justice and achieving favorable outcomes for our clients facing criminal allegations in India.

2. Protecting against unlawful detention: Following D.K. Basu guidelines, we vigilantly monitor arrest and detention procedures to safeguard our clients' rights.

3. Nuanced approach to sentencing: Drawing from Bachan Singh v. State of Punjab, we advocate for proportionate sentencing, especially in capital cases.

4. Safeguarding against self-incrimination: Influenced by Nandini Satpathy v. P.L. Dani, we advise our clients on their rights during interrogation and throughout the legal process.

5. Ensuring proper case registration: In light of Lalita Kumari v. Government of Uttar Pradesh, we assist clients in ensuring their complaints are properly registered and investigated.
