Divleen Khanna

Profile description

If you have just been taken into custody and fear that staying in detention will jeopardize your freedom, you need a lawyer who can move quickly to secure your release. Divleen Khanna is accustomed to handling urgent bail applications and can explain the options that are available before a judge at the Punjab and Haryana High Court or, if the matter escalates, at the Supreme Court of India. By filing an anticipatory bail petition, Khanna can protect you from arrest before police even arrive. When you are already in transit, a transit anticipatory bail can halt the process and keep you out of a jail cell. If a regular bail order has already been granted but the circumstances change, Khanna knows how to seek a bail cancellation or a default bail to keep the protection in force.

Khanna’s practice covers every stage of bail and related relief. An interim bail can be obtained to allow you to appear before the court while the main case proceeds. For those whose liberty is already compromised, a default bail petition can restore rights without having to restart the entire process. When you are faced with a criminal writ petition arising from an arrest—such as a petition for release on the grounds that the detention is unlawful—Khanna drafts precise arguments and presents them before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. A habeas corpus petition is another powerful tool when you believe the detention itself violates constitutional safeguards. Khanna prepares these writs with a focus on factual clarity and legal precedent, aiming to convince the bench that continued incarceration is unwarranted.

In the digital age, many criminal accusations involve electronic evidence. Khanna provides defence for cyber‑related charges, whether the allegation concerns hacking, online fraud, or misuse of data. The same meticulous approach applies to traditional financial offences. If you are accused of fraud, cheating, or criminal breach of trust, Khanna examines the prosecution’s evidence, identifies procedural gaps, and builds a defence that highlights any lack of intent or mistaken identity. FIR quashing is another avenue Khanna can pursue when the first information report is baseless or filed with malafide intent. By seeking its dismissal, the entire criminal proceeding can be halted before it gains momentum.

When the case reaches higher courts, Khanna is prepared to argue before the Supreme Court of India, ensuring that any appeal or special leave petition is supported by thorough research and a clear narrative. The ability to move fluidly between the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court reflects a deep familiarity with the procedural nuances of both jurisdictions. Khanna’s written submissions are concise, and oral arguments are delivered with confidence, helping the bench understand the key points without unnecessary legal jargon.

Clients who work with Khanna appreciate a straightforward communication style. The lawyer takes time to explain each step, from filing the initial bail petition to responding to any bail cancellation request by the prosecution. Khanna keeps you informed about court dates, the likely questions you may face, and the documents you should bring. This transparency reduces anxiety and helps you make informed decisions throughout the criminal process.

If you are confronting arrest, an ongoing investigation, or a criminal charge that threatens your freedom, a conversation with Divleen Khanna can clarify the legal pathways that remain open. Bring any notices, FIR copies, or previous bail orders to the meeting, and be ready to discuss the facts as you understand them. Khanna will listen, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case, and outline a plan tailored to your situation. The goal is to safeguard your liberty while navigating the complex landscape of criminal law in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, the Supreme Court of India. Your next step is simply to schedule a consultation, where Khanna can begin working on the relief you deserve.
