Vijayawada's criminal docket spans high-value cheating and 420 IPC matters from the city's commercial belt, IT Act and cyber-fraud FIRs from a young digital-economy population, and a regular flow of matrimonial cross-cases. Decisions in the first 72 hours after FIR — whether to seek anticipatory bail, where to file, whether to engage with police inquiry — usually decide the matter.
Vijayawada criminal courts include the Magistrates and Special Magistrates at NTR district, the Sessions Court, special POCSO and SC/ST courts, and the Vigilance / ACB courts. Appeals, quashing, and post-rejection bail go to the AP High Court at Amaravati. We are present at both ends of this corridor weekly.
