Hello

My lawyer in chennai is requesting for Vakalat to singed by me -- is it needed for quashing a case??

Thanks

Mani

Dear Sir,

Delay in lodging F.I.R. , if properly explained, cannot be fatal to the prosecution. The same can be explained during the trial. Therefore, delay itself  is not sufficient for quashing the F.I.R. 

Though vakalat is not necessary in criminal matters ( for quashing of the F.I.R.), you are requested to sign the vakalat so that you cannot deny in future that such a request has never been made by you to that particular advocate. Memo of appearance is filed in criminal matters which requires no signature of the accused.

If you have any doubt, you can speak to me on 9842197857.
