Economic Offences and EOW
Defence in cheating, fraud, criminal breach of trust and investment cases investigated by the Economic Offences Wing of the Gurugram Police and other agencies.
EOW cases usually begin with a complaint about money: an investment, a property deal, a business arrangement gone wrong. Many of them are, at heart, civil disputes dressed as crimes. The defence often turns on showing exactly that, with documents.
What the work covers
- Inquiry stage. Replies to the EOW’s inquiry on a complaint, before any FIR is registered.
- Investigation. Joining the investigation with the right documents, and protection against arrest.
- Quashing. Petitions in the High Court where the dispute is civil in nature or has been settled.
- Settlement. Structuring settlements that close both the criminal case and the money dispute.
Questions people ask
My business partner has filed a cheating complaint. Is it a criminal case?
Not every failed deal is cheating. Cheating requires a dishonest intention at the start of the transaction. Where the dispute is about a broken contract, the High Court can quash the case.
Can the complaint be settled after an FIR?
Yes, and many are. A settlement can lead to compounding where the law allows it, or to quashing by the High Court where it does not.
