Learn the key legal protections available to individuals facing criminal charges and how to navigate the justice system effectively.
Criminal law can be tricky and confusing especially when your freedom is at stake. That’s why knowing your rights and having a criminal lawyer on your side is key. At the heart of the Australian legal system is the principle that every person is entitled to fairness, justice and to be heard. At Bazzi Law we make sure those basic rights are upheld regardless of the situation. Let’s have a look at why you need to know your rights and how having a criminal lawyer by your side can keep you protected.
Overview
Being involved in a criminal case can be daunting, but understanding your rights is crucial to ensuring a fair legal process. At Wisdom Law Associates, we educate and support clients in Nepal to protect their rights during criminal proceedings.
Your Fundamental Rights
In Nepal, you have the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to a fair trial. These rights are enshrined in the Constitution of Nepal and international human rights standards, ensuring you are not coerced or unfairly treated.
Right to Legal Counsel
You have the right to consult a lawyer immediately upon arrest. If you cannot afford one, the state must provide legal aid. Our firm offers expert representation to ensure your defense is robust and your rights are upheld.
Protection Against Unlawful Detention
You must be presented before a court within 24 hours of arrest, excluding travel time. If this is violated, we can file a habeas corpus petition to secure your release and challenge unlawful detention.
