Karkardooma Court Complex is at Karkardooma, Delhi 110092 — adjacent to Karkardooma Metro Station. The complex serves the East, North-East, and Shahdara Districts of Delhi, covering one of the most populous catchment areas in the city. The complex houses the District Sessions Courts for these districts, multiple Additional Sessions Judges, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Metropolitan Magistrates, Civil Judges, and specialised courts including the Special Court for Trial of POCSO Act matters.

Anticipatory bail under Section 482 BNSS for matters within East, North-East, or Shahdara Delhi territorial jurisdiction is filed before the Sessions Judge or Additional Sessions Judge at Karkardooma. The application must establish reasonable apprehension of arrest based on tangible material. The Sushila Aggarwal Constitution Bench framework on duration applies. Drafting and filing typically takes 12 to 24 hours; mentioning slips for urgent same-day or next-day listing are entertained for cases with imminent apprehension.

EOW (Economic Offences Wing) Delhi Police matters originating from East, North-East, and Shahdara Delhi often involve allegations from commercial activity in Anand Vihar, Preet Vihar, and Laxmi Nagar markets, real-estate transactions in Mayur Vihar and Patparganj, and consumer-merchant disputes across the territorial jurisdiction. Cheating under BNS 318, criminal breach of trust under BNS 316, and forgery under BNS 336 are typical. Defence frequently engages the Indian Oil v. NEPC framework where the matter is essentially civil in nature.
