Dhruvan Khanna

Profile description

You have been arrested and the police have taken you into custody without showing a warrant. You are not sure whether your rights have been respected and you need someone who can intervene quickly. Dhruvan Khanna, an experienced advocate who regularly appears before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, specializes in exactly these kinds of urgent criminal matters.

When an arrest appears unlawful, Dhruvan Khanna can file a writ petition challenging the detention. The advocate prepares a strong petition under the appropriate provisions and presents it before the High Court, seeking immediate release. In parallel, a habeas corpus application can be lodged to compel the authorities to produce the detained person before the court and to verify that the custody complies with the law. The advocate’s familiarity with the procedural nuances of both the High Court and the Supreme Court allows rapid, effective action in these critical moments.

Bail is another common concern for anyone facing criminal charges. Dhruvan Khanna advises clients on the most suitable type of bail for their situation. For cases that are still under investigation, a transit anticipatory bail can protect you from being taken into custody while travelling. If the court has already granted bail but the prosecution seeks to cancel it, the advocate can file a bail cancellation defence and argue for its continuation. When bail has not yet been granted, Dhruvan Khanna can seek an interim bail or a default bail, ensuring you remain free while the case proceeds. Each bail application is tailored to the facts of the case and filed with the Punjab and Haryana High Court; the advocate also knows when an appeal to the Supreme Court of India is necessary.

The practice also covers specific criminal offences that often carry severe penalties. If you are charged with criminal breach of trust, Dhruvan Khanna examines the financial records, gathers witness statements and constructs a defence that highlights any lack of malicious intent. Cybercrime allegations, such as unauthorized access to computer systems or online fraud, are met with a detailed technical analysis and a defence that challenges the evidentiary basis of the prosecution. For fraud and cheating charges, the advocate disputes the alleged deception and demonstrates any procedural irregularities in the investigation.

Serious violent offences, including murder and attempt to murder, demand a meticulous defence strategy. Dhruvan Khanna reviews forensic reports, questions the credibility of eyewitnesses and explores any alternate explanations for the alleged act. The advocate also handles cases involving sexual offences, POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) matters, and other related charges. Sensitivity and confidentiality are maintained throughout, while a vigorous defence is built on factual evidence and legal precedent.

Every criminal writ petition that Dhruvan Khanna files is grounded in a clear understanding of the statutes that govern the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when required, the Supreme Court of India. The advocate prepares concise arguments, anticipates the prosecution’s tactics and presents a narrative that protects the client’s liberty and reputation. Clients report that the advocate’s calm demeanor and thorough preparation help reduce the stress that accompanies criminal proceedings.

Whether you need an immediate remedy for an illegal arrest, a bail order to keep you out of jail, or a comprehensive defence against complex charges such as cybercrime, fraud, murder or POCSO, Dhruvan Khanna offers focused, results‑oriented representation. The advocate’s regular appearances before the High Court and the Supreme Court demonstrate a depth of experience that is hard to find elsewhere in Chandigarh. If you are facing any of the listed criminal issues, reaching out to Dhruvan Khanna can provide the legal clarity and protection you need at a difficult time.
