Ishika Barua regularly assists clients who claim unlawful detention by filing habeas corpus petitions.

In several recent matters, bail cancellation petitions filed by the lawyer resulted in the High Court overturning lower‑court orders, allowing clients to continue preparing their defence while living at home.

The lawyer also focuses on the suspension of a sentence pending appeal. By filing applications that request the High Court to stay the execution of a sentence until the appeal is decided, Ishika Barua provides a vital breathing space for clients.
