The moment an arrest is made, the clock starts ticking. Amrita Khanna can assess whether the police followed proper procedure and, if not, draft a petition that compels the court to examine the legality of the detention. A habeas corpus petition filed by Amrita Khanna forces the authorities to justify the arrest before a judge, often resulting in immediate release when the law has been breached. For clients facing criminal charges that carry severe penalties, Amrita Khanna prepares thorough bail applications that address the specific facts of the case, the likelihood of flight, and the potential impact on personal and professional life.

When the matter involves serious offenses such as drug-related crimes, fraud, or cyber offenses, Amrita Khanna brings deep experience in defending against NDPS charges, fraud and cheating allegations, and cybercrime accusations. In NDPS cases, the advocate carefully examines the seizure procedures, the chain of custody, and the statutory definitions used by the prosecution. By highlighting procedural gaps and presenting expert testimony, Amrita Khanna can weaken the prosecution’s case and improve the chances of acquittal or reduced sentencing.

Financial crimes such as breach of trust or large‑scale cheating often involve complex evidence and forensic accounting. Amrita Khanna’s approach includes a detailed review of transaction records, contracts, and digital footprints. The advocate works closely with specialists to build a defence that challenges the credibility of the prosecution’s evidence. Whether the allegation is a single instance of fraud or a series of deception, Amrita Khanna can craft a strategy that underscores intent, consent, and any mitigating circumstances.

Cybercrime defence requires a blend of technical knowledge and sharp legal argument. When you are accused of unauthorized access, data theft, or online fraud, Amrita Khanna assesses the digital trail, questions the admissibility of electronic evidence, and raises privacy concerns that may arise under the law. The advocate can argue that the alleged act does not meet the statutory definition of a cyber offence or that proper procedural safeguards were ignored during the investigation.

Bail matters often evolve as new information surfaces. If a lower court has granted bail and the prosecution seeks cancellation, Amrita Khanna is prepared to defend the existing order. By presenting evidence of stable residence, community ties, and lack of tampering with evidence, the advocate can convince the Punjab and Haryana High Court to maintain the bail status.
