Overview
White Collar Crime Proceedings in Delhi
White collar crime matters generally involve allegations connected with financial dealings, corporate transactions, commercial promises, bank records, forged documents, misuse of company position, breach of trust, siphoning of funds, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts. These matters may arise before police, Economic Offences Wing, Enforcement Directorate, CBI, Special Courts, Magistrate Courts, Sessions Courts, or the High Court depending on the allegations and stage.
The current legal framework may involve the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 for offences such as cheating, forgery, criminal breach of trust and conspiracy-related allegations; the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for investigation, arrest, remand, bail and trial procedure; and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 for evidence and electronic records. Where the matter includes financial trail, attachment, corruption, corporate filings, or scheduled offences, other statutes may also become relevant.
These matters are highly document-driven. The first review normally includes complaint history, contracts, payment trail, bank statements, company records, emails, invoices, board resolutions, audit material, digital communication, notices, police papers, summons, and any order already passed by a court or authority.
