You have been arrested without clear justification and fear that your liberty is at risk. You need a lawyer who can file a writ petition to challenge the legality of your arrest and protect your fundamental right to freedom. Baljeet Subramanian focuses on writ petitions challenging illegal arrest and on protection of life and liberty writs before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Baljeet Subramanian earned a top‑class law degree and later pursued a specialised diploma in constitutional law. He began his practice as a junior advocate in the High Court, assisting senior lawyers in drafting habeas corpus applications and other liberty‑related petitions. Over fifteen years, he has become a recognised authority on writ jurisprudence, having argued dozens of cases that resulted in the release of individuals detained without proper cause.

When an arrest appears unlawful, the first step is to approach the High Court with a petition that asserts the violation of Article 21 of the Constitution. Baljeet Subramanian regularly assists clients in preparing the necessary affidavits, attaching evidence of the arrest, and citing precedent that compels the court to intervene. He can explain the standards the bench uses to assess the legality of police actions and can help you understand the timelines for filing a writ.

Baljeet Subramanian’s strategy centres on concise, fact‑based submissions that highlight any procedural irregularities – such as lack of a valid warrant, failure to inform the accused of grounds for arrest, or non‑compliance with statutory safeguards. He has successfully obtained orders for immediate release, mandated the production of the arresting officer for cross‑examination, and secured compensation where unlawful detention caused mental distress. In addition to challenging illegal arrests, he handles broader life‑and‑liberty writs, including orders that prevent arbitrary detention in preventive detention cases.
