I had a disagreement with a police officer on duty a few weeks ago, and I acted in self-defense. Now I’m facing charges under IPC sections 332, 353, and 323. Can you explain the typical process for this type of case and how long it might take to resolve?

You would be brought before a magistrate court and the process would involve filing a charge sheet, framing charges, and presenting evidence by both sides. The duration of the trial can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s workload, but it can take several months to years.
