Naina Kohli

Profile description

If you have been taken into custody and are unsure whether you will be released, the first question that runs through your mind is how quickly you can secure your freedom. Naina Kohli understands how urgent that moment is. The advocate has built a practice around securing bail, filing writ petitions, and defending clients at the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India. Whether you need an anticipatory bail before an arrest, a regular bail after detention, or a transit anticipatory bail to travel across state lines, the lawyer can explain the options, prepare the necessary documents, and argue for release while protecting your rights.

Bail matters form a core part of Naina Kohli’s work. The lawyer regularly assists clients with habeas corpus petitions when a detention appears unlawful, and can file arrest‑related criminal writ petitions to challenge the very basis of police custody. When a lower court orders bail and the prosecution seeks cancellation, the advocate can file a bail cancellation petition and defend against it. For those who have missed a bail hearing or face a default bail situation, Naina Kohli knows how to approach the High Court to rectify the lapse and obtain a fresh order. Special leave petitions against bail orders are also within the lawyer’s repertoire, allowing a swift appeal to the Supreme Court of India when a High Court decision needs higher review.

Serious criminal accusations demand a defence that can navigate complex evidence and procedural hurdles. Naina Kohli has handled murder and attempt‑to‑murder cases, NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) charges, and sexual offence allegations, including POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) matters. While each case is unique, the advocate’s approach remains consistent: scrutinise the investigation, examine forensic reports, challenge the legality of the arrest, and present a robust defence narrative. For clients accused of fraud, cheating, or other financial crimes, Naina Kohli prepares a criminal breach of trust defence that attacks the prosecution’s intent and evidentiary foundation. In cybercrime defence, the lawyer stays current with evolving statutes and can contest digital evidence, tracing logs, and expert testimony to protect the client’s rights.

When a case reaches the stage of revision or an appeal, Naina Kohli turns to the higher courts for redress. Criminal revision petitions allow the advocate to ask the Punjab and Haryana High Court to review orders that may have been passed without adequate reasoning. If the High Court’s decision still does not resolve a critical bail issue, the lawyer can move a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India, seeking an urgent intervention. Interim bail applications are filed in parallel when a final decision is pending, ensuring that liberty is not unduly withheld during a lengthy judicial process.

Beyond bail and defence, the lawyer handles a spectrum of writs that protect personal liberty. Habeas corpus petitions, default bail petitions, and transit anticipatory bail applications all aim to restore freedom at the earliest moment. Each filing is tailored to the factual matrix of the case, with meticulous attention to procedural requirements and persuasive legal arguments. Naina Kohli’s experience in these specialised writs means that clients receive a focused strategy rather than a generic response.

Clients who approach Naina Kohli can expect clear communication about their legal position, step‑by‑step guidance on what to expect in court, and a determined effort to safeguard their liberty. The advocate’s practice is anchored in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where most criminal matters are heard, but the lawyer is equally comfortable appearing before the Supreme Court of India for matters that demand a national perspective. Whether you are facing a bail denial, a serious criminal charge, or a complex cybercrime allegation, Naina Kohli offers a focused, experienced defence that seeks to protect your freedom and reputation.
