Angad Khanna

Profile description

If you have just been taken into custody and the police are demanding you sign a statement, the first thing you will think about is how to secure your freedom while the case proceeds. Angad Khanna, a seasoned criminal advocate practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, specialises in exactly those situations. Whether the allegation is a serious offence or a preliminary charge, Khanna can step in quickly to assess the facts, advise on the best bail strategy and file the necessary petitions. The aim is to keep you out of jail and protect your rights from the moment the arrest is made.

Anticipatory bail, transit anticipatory bail and default bail are powerful tools that prevent detention before formal charges are framed. Khanna regularly assists clients in filing anticipatory bail petitions under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, ensuring that police cannot arrest the applicant without a court order. When a client is travelling across state borders, transit anticipatory bail can stop a sudden detention en route, and Khanna’s experience with the Punjab and Haryana High Court enables swift filings that respect jurisdictional nuances. Even if a bail order has already been granted but circumstances change, Khanna can move for interim bail or a default bail release to keep the client out of lock‑up while the investigation continues.

When a detention appears unlawful, a Habeas Corpus petition can compel the court to examine the legality of the custody. Khanna has a track record of drafting compelling Habeas Corpus and other arrest‑related criminal writ petitions that challenge procedural lapses and secure immediate release. In cases where a bail order issued by a lower court is later contested, Khanna files Special Leave Petitions against bail orders before the Supreme Court of India, seeking a higher bench’s intervention. Likewise, bail cancellation matters and criminal revision petitions are handled with meticulous research, allowing the Punjab and Haryana High Court to revisit decisions that may have been based on insufficient evidence. The result is often a swift correction that restores personal liberty.

Cybercrime, fraud and cheating, and criminal breach of trust cases often carry severe penalties and attract intense media scrutiny. Khanna can explain how the same bail principles apply in these digital and financial offences, and can help secure an interim bail that prevents detention while the technical aspects of the case are examined. By coordinating with forensic experts and financial investigators, Khanna builds a defence that not only challenges the evidence but also argues that the accused is not a flight risk. This dual focus on bail relief and substantive defence increases the chances of a favourable outcome, whether the matter proceeds to trial or is settled through a negotiated compromise.

Clients who choose Angad Khanna appreciate a pragmatic approach that blends rigorous legal research with clear communication. Every filing—whether a bail application in the Punjab and Haryana High Court or a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court of India—is drafted to highlight the strongest arguments and anticipate the opposing side’s tactics. Khanna keeps the client informed at each stage, explains the implications of any court order and advises on the next steps to protect liberty and reputation. This combination of strategic thinking and relentless advocacy has earned a reputation for turning difficult bail battles into successful releases.
