What happens if the issue is not resolved timely?

A criminal case in India is time-bound under the Limitation Act. In case the criminal complaint is not filed within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the offence, the court may not entertain your complaint and you may not even get a chance to ask for justice. Thus, it is of utmost importance that timely action is taken to resolve the criminal issue and therefore, it is advisable to take the help of a good criminal lawyer to help you through your criminal case.
