This query is : Resolved
I shall be obliged if the experts advise whether a de-factor complainant, can appoint an advocate, as intervenor, at the stage of FIR itself, so that such advocate can watch bail application, or anticipator bail application, make objectins or seek conditions for bail, to ensure that the accused do not flee from investigation. Can interenor be appointed in trial courts ? Is there any case law allowing this. I was told there are SC judgement and even karnataka HC judgements. Can you please clarify ?

Yes. De facto complainant can do it.

The de facto complainant can always appoint lawyer to oppose the bail application, both regular and anticipatory bail.

It is now permitted under s 24 (8) proviso as per amended Cr. P. C. but the privilage is to 'victim' only and not to complainant.
