Falguni Verma

Profile description

When a police raid leads to arrest without clear justification, or when you are accused of a serious crime such as murder, the stakes cannot be higher. Falguni Verma offers a full spectrum of defence services that address the immediate need for release, the complex trial strategy, and the protection against preventive detention. The lawyer’s practice encompasses Arrest‑Related Criminal Writ Petitions, Murder and Attempt to Murder Defence, and Preventive Detention Writ Petitions, and appears before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India.

Arrest‑Related Criminal Writ Petitions provide a rapid avenue to challenge unlawful arrests. Falguni examines the arrest record, looks for procedural irregularities such as lack of a warrant, failure to inform the accused of rights, or excessive force. By drafting precise writ petitions, the lawyer seeks an immediate court order that either releases the client or compels the authorities to justify the detention. This approach often results in swift relief from the High Court, preventing unnecessary incarceration while the main trial proceeds.

If the case progresses to a murder or attempt‑to‑murder charge, the lawyer shifts focus to a robust defence strategy. Falguni conducts an exhaustive review of forensic evidence, eyewitness statements, and police reports. The lawyer works with forensic experts to challenge ballistics, DNA findings, or inconsistencies in the prosecution’s timeline. By presenting alternate theories, alibi evidence, and questioning investigative lapses, the lawyer strives to create reasonable doubt. Over many years of practice, the lawyer has secured acquittals, negotiated reduced charges, and achieved favorable settlements in high‑profile homicide cases.

In some instances, the state may invoke preventive detention to keep a person in custody without a formal trial, citing threats to public order. Falguni prepares Preventive Detention Writ Petitions that scrutinize the legality of the order, the adequacy of the evidence, and adherence to constitutional safeguards. By highlighting procedural flaws and demanding judicial oversight, the lawyer aims to have the detention order set aside by the High Court or, if necessary, the Supreme Court. This dual‑court capability ensures that clients receive the strongest possible protection against any form of unlawful confinement.

Clients value the lawyer’s calm composure and strategic insight. Falguni regularly assists clients in gathering fresh witness statements, securing expert forensic analysis, and preparing for oral arguments that emphasize both legal merits and humanitarian concerns. The lawyer’s track record reflects more than a decade of successful outcomes: numerous bail orders, acquittals in murder trials, and overturned preventive detention orders. Judges at both courts have praised the lawyer’s thorough preparation, clear articulation of complex legal points, and unwavering commitment to protecting client rights.

If you are facing an arrest, a homicide charge, or a preventive detention order, you need a lawyer who can move quickly, argue persuasively, and navigate both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. Falguni Verma brings that blend of experience, tactical acumen, and dedicated advocacy, working tirelessly to safeguard your liberty and achieve the best possible result.
