Frequently asked questions
Does cyber crime jurisdiction depend only on where I live?
Not always. Jurisdiction may also depend on the transaction, accused, device, bank account, platform and where the offence or consequence occurred.
Can cyber crime legal work be coordinated across cities?
Yes, many cyber matters involve multi-city coordination between complainant, police station, banks, platforms and courts.
Do I need a lawyer in the same city as the police station?
Sometimes local appearance or filing may be required. In other matters, remote legal strategy and document preparation may be possible.
Why create an India locations page?
Victims and accused often search by city even when the cyber evidence is distributed across several locations.
