Good to know
- Be ready to join the investigation when called; interim protection, if granted, comes with conditions.
- Anticipatory bail is not available for some sexual offences against girls; the advocate will tell you.
- The High Court works in English: the advocate files the English version, and any paper in Hindi or Punjabi usually needs a typed English translation.
