Local procedure: Yerawada, Laxminagar and Vishrantwadi

Yerawada Police Station, on Loop Road at Shastrinagar, runs police chowkis at Laxminagar, Shivrana Pratap, Ramwadi, Parnakuti and Jail Road. It also covers Kalyani Nagar. A separate Laxminagar Police Station has been created at Laxmiraja Chowk, and Vishrantwadi Police Station on Alandi Road covers Vishrantwadi and Dhanori.

Yerwada Central Jail, the largest prison in Maharashtra, is in this area, and many undertrial prisoners from Pune courts are lodged there. Bail for a prisoner is not sought at the jail. It is sought in the court where the case is pending, usually a Magistrate or the Sessions Court in the Pune District Court complex at Shivajinagar. If the police do not file a chargesheet within the period the law allows, the accused may apply for default bail under Section 187 BNSS. Cases from Yerawada Police Station go to a Judicial Magistrate court at Shivajinagar. Under the 2023 allocation list, cases from Vishrantwadi Police Station go to the Cantonment Court at Khadki.

The Aqua metro line links the Yerawada station with the District Court interchange. By road the distance is about 6-8 km.
