Hemant Ekka

Profile description

When a partner accuses you of misappropriating funds or a client alleges that you have cheated them, the stress of a criminal charge can quickly overwhelm your personal and professional life. Hemant Ekka focuses on defending clients accused of criminal breach of trust and fraud or cheating, operating in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when the case demands, before the Supreme Court of India. By concentrating on the nuances of these offenses, the advocate works to protect your reputation and liberty.

Criminal breach of trust cases often revolve around alleged misuse of property or money that was entrusted to you in a fiduciary capacity. Hemant Ekka examines every piece of evidence, from accounting records to correspondence, to identify inconsistencies or procedural lapses that can weaken the prosecution’s narrative. The lawyer regularly assists clients in filing precise counter‑affidavits, raising questions about the validity of the trust agreement, and demonstrating that the alleged loss either never occurred or resulted from lawful actions. By presenting alternative explanations and highlighting gaps in the prosecution’s case, the lawyer aims to secure acquittal or a reduction in charges.

Fraud and cheating accusations can arise in commercial transactions, insurance claims, or even personal relationships. In these matters, Hemant Ekka constructs a defence that challenges the intent element, which is crucial for a conviction. The lawyer gathers expert testimony, forensic analysis, and documentary proof to show that any alleged deception was either a misunderstanding, a mistake, or a legitimate business decision made in good faith. By arguing that the alleged victim’s expectations were unreasonable or that the alleged loss was speculative, the lawyer can persuade the bench to dismiss the charges or award a favorable settlement.

Hemant Ekka earned a Master of Laws with a specialization in criminal law from a top Indian university and began the career as a junior advocate under senior mentors renowned for high‑profile economic crime defence. Over the past sixteen years, the lawyer has defended more than seventy criminal breach of trust and fraud cases in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and has appeared before the Supreme Court in over twenty matters involving complex financial disputes. Notable successes include a landmark breach of trust defence that resulted in the dismissal of a multi‑crore misappropriation claim, and a fraud defence that secured a complete acquittal for a client charged under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act.

The practice model emphasizes thorough case assessment and transparent communication. Hemant Ekka starts each engagement with a detailed interview, reviewing contracts, transaction records, and communication logs to build a factual timeline. The advocate then prepares a customized litigation plan, outlining filing deadlines, potential defensive strategies, and regular updates on court developments. By keeping clients informed and involved, the lawyer reduces uncertainty and builds confidence throughout the proceedings.

If you are facing a criminal breach of trust allegation or a fraud charge that threatens your livelihood, a consultation with Hemant Ekka can clarify your options and outline a defence roadmap.

With a proven record of securing dismissals, reductions, and favourable settlements, Hemant Ekka is prepared to fight for your rights and restore your professional standing.

Clients often commend the advocate’s ability to translate complex financial evidence into clear arguments that resonate with judges.
