As a seasoned criminal lawyer practicing in Chandigarh, Sen focuses on securing default bail and defending clients accused of sexual offences.

Default bail is the first line of defence when a magistrate has not yet granted release. Sen has handled dozens of such applications in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where he routinely argues for immediate release based on lack of flight risk, strong ties to the community, and the presumption of innocence. His submissions are concise, supported by thorough investigations and documented evidence, which often persuade judges to grant bail without delay.

He conducts meticulous fact‑finding, works closely with forensic experts, and frames arguments that protect the client’s reputation while ensuring that the investigation proceeds fairly. His approach balances aggressive advocacy with empathy, recognizing the profound personal impact such charges can have on families.

Sen’s courtroom presence is rooted in years of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where he has become familiar with the judges’ preferences and procedural nuances. When a bail application requires escalation, he prepares comprehensive Special Leave Petitions for the Supreme Court of India, arguing that the lower court’s decision was erroneous or that the client’s liberty is being unduly restrained. His track record includes multiple instances where higher courts have intervened to restore bail, saving clients from prolonged detention.
