When an arrest appears to violate legal procedure, Gaurik Kohli regularly drafts and files writ petitions challenging illegal arrest.

Each of these bail applications is tailored to the facts of the case, and Gaurik Kohli is accustomed to presenting clear, focused arguments that satisfy the High Court’s standards.

If a bail order has already been granted and the prosecution seeks its cancellation, Gaurik Kohli is prepared to defend that relief. The advocate has successfully argued against bail cancellation in numerous instances, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the balance between a fair trial and the accused’s right to liberty. When bail is withdrawn, the advocate swiftly moves to file a criminal appeal, challenging the decision and seeking reinstatement of bail or a reduction in any imposed conditions.

Beyond bail matters, Gaurik Kohli provides dedicated defence in criminal breach of trust cases, where accusations of misappropriation of property can jeopardise personal and professional reputations.
