Criminal Defence Services for Pune Camp & Cantonment Area

Pune Camp (Cantonment area) is one of Pune’s oldest and most commercially active zones — home to trading businesses, hospitality establishments, defence personnel, and long-established residential communities. Common legal matters from the Camp area include NI Act cheque bounce cases (from the high volume of commercial transactions), theft and property FIRs, and criminal complaints arising from business disputes.

Advocate Akash Chikate serves clients from Pune Camp, MG Road, East Street, Boat Club Road, and the Cantonment area for criminal defence, bail, and commercial dispute litigation.

Local procedure: Pune Camp and the Cantonment Court

The Camp area is served by Lashkar Police Station on Dr. Coyaji Road, often searched as the 'Camp police station'. It runs police chowkis at Centre Street, Charbaudi, Pul Gate and Solapur Bazar. Bundgarden, Koregaon Park and Wanawadi police stations cover the surrounding areas.

Magistrate-level cases from Lashkar Police Station are heard by the Pune Cantonment Court, not at Shivajinagar. The court's British-era building on M.G. Road is being renovated, and since 27 June 2024 the court has functioned from Mahatma Phule Sanskrutik Bhavan in Wanowrie. At the time of the shift it was reported to hear daily remand matters from Hadapsar, Lashkar, Wanowrie, Kondhwa and Mundhwa police stations. Cheque-bounce complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act are filed where the payee's bank account is maintained, which may or may not be the Camp court.

Anticipatory bail applications and sessions-triable cases go to the Pune District & Sessions Court at Shivajinagar, about 4-6 km from Camp. Because court locations here have changed recently, confirm the current courtroom before a hearing.
