Q: Hi, I want to know how does my friend get bail. He is in jail for the last 20 days and the police did not present him in front of the court. Only 1 hearing is done yet but my friend is innocent and my question is why the police did not present my friend in front of the court. I met him last Friday in jail and nobody told him about the hearing date and status of the case or how he gets bail.

Q: A business partner has accused my cousin of theft of money and assets. He is currently detained and I would like to get him out on bail.

Q: Dear Sir, I have my friend in detention in Al Barsha police station for accidental death in a construction site. His team on site had employed fewer labours for work and one of those guys died in an accident. The police had detained my friend as he is the owner of the company. The police case report number is only available and they have not still transferred it to the public prosecution. Is it possible to get bail before the case being transferred?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have an inquiry about my friend who was detained by immigration in Abu Dhabi and taken to CID. They said he is being investigated for a hit-and-run accident, but they are not providing much information. My friend gave his car to someone else to drive, and the driver was involved in a minor accident. The driver said he stopped at the side of the road after the accident, but a police officer told him to move his car to the parking lot near Dubai Mall. The driver did as he was told, and a taxi was also involved in the accident. Everyone was safe, but after they parked, the driver of the first car told the driver of my friend's car to go further down the road because there were a lot of cars. The driver of my friend's car couldn't find the other driver, so he left the scene. What can happen in this scenario? Who will be at fault, the friend who was driving the car or the friend who owns the car?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My brother has been in Buheira police station for 25 days now. He had a minor accident in Sharjah that resulted in dents to two cars. They took him that day and said they needed to do drug tests on him. It's been 25 days now, and the results have not come back. They say it will take more time. We are unable to get bail because the lawyers say it shows as "under investigation" online, and until the investigation is over, we cannot get bail. We don't know what to do because the test results may take much longer, and we're not sure how long we have to wait. He's only 22, and now they say he has four charges against him for drugs and the accident.

Q: Hi, I want to inquire about a police case. In October 2024, I was involved in a minor accident while reversing my car out of a parking space, during which I accidentally ran over a person's foot. The individual later withdrew the case at the police station, and the case report was subsequently forwarded to the Dubai Public Prosecution. It has been over two weeks since I last visited the Public Prosecution (I have visited three times), yet the case number has not been issued. Could you kindly advise on how long it typically takes for the court to issue a verdict in such cases so that my travel ban can be lifted? Your guidance and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
