Profile description

When a notification about a cyber‑crime accusation lands in your inbox, the panic can be immediate: your online reputation, your job, even your freedom feel under threat. Charan Kohli steps in at that moment, offering a clear roadmap through the tangled web of digital evidence and criminal law. Practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer brings a focused expertise that bridges technology and courtroom strategy.

Cyber‑crime defence often begins with a meticulous audit of the alleged electronic trail. Charan Kohli regularly assists clients by securing raw server logs, analysing metadata, and engaging independent cyber‑forensic experts. This technical groundwork uncovers gaps in the prosecution’s case, such as forged IP addresses or misinterpreted data, that can be pivotal in securing a dismissal or acquittal. The lawyer translates complex technical findings into persuasive legal arguments that the High Court can readily understand.

In the gravest of criminal matters—murder or attempts to murder—the stakes rise dramatically. Charan Kohli’s experience in murder and attempt to murder defence includes reconstructing timelines, challenging witness statements, and highlighting forensic inconsistencies. The lawyer works with pathologists and crime‑scene analysts to ensure that the evidence presented to the High Court reflects the true sequence of events. By presenting alternative scenarios and reasonable doubt, the lawyer strives to protect the client’s life and liberty.

The National Drugs and Substances (NDPS) Act presents its own set of challenges, given its severe penalties and procedural rigidity. Charan Kohli is adept at navigating NDPS defence by scrutinising search and seizure procedures, questioning the chain of custody, and raising constitutional safeguards. The lawyer’s strategy often involves filing pre‑trial applications that expose violations of statutory safeguards, which can lead to the exclusion of critical evidence and, consequently, to a favourable verdict.

Across all three practice areas, Charan Kohli maintains a client‑centered approach. The lawyer offers clear explanations of each procedural step, outlines possible outcomes, and advises on protective measures to preserve evidence. This transparency helps clients feel empowered rather than overwhelmed by the legal process.

Clients who have worked with Charan Kohli commend the lawyer’s tenacity, technical savvy, and calm demeanor in high‑pressure situations. Successful outcomes include the quashing of cyber‑crime charges due to insufficient digital proof, acquittals in murder cases where forensic gaps were exposed, and reduced sentences in NDPS matters after procedural violations were highlighted. For anyone facing serious criminal accusations in Chandigarh, Charan Kohli provides a strategic, knowledgeable defence that aims to safeguard freedom and reputation before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
