Priyadharshini Khanna

Profile description

If a criminal judgment has left you with a harsh sentence and you believe the trial court erred in law or fact, you need a lawyer who can file a criminal revision and ask the High Court to re‑examine the decision. Priyadharshini Khanna is an experienced advocate practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh, and regularly assists clients in seeking revisions that can correct wrongful convictions.

Criminal revision is a special remedy that allows the High Court to review a lower court’s order when there is a manifest error, jurisdictional defect, or new material evidence that could change the outcome. Priyadharshini Khanna begins by analysing the judgment line‑by‑line, identifying points where the law was misapplied or the evidence was misinterpreted. The lawyer then prepares a detailed revision petition, citing statutory provisions, case law, and any fresh evidence that was not considered earlier. By framing clear grounds of revision, the advocate aims to persuade the bench that the original decision cannot stand.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court handles a large volume of criminal revision matters, and familiarity with its procedural nuances is essential. Priyadharshini Khanna’s long practice before this court provides insight into the judges’ expectations regarding drafting, citation style, and oral argument. The lawyer ensures that the petition complies with the court’s filing deadlines, format requirements, and supporting documentation standards, thereby avoiding procedural dismissals. In oral hearings, the advocate presents a concise narrative, emphasizes the legal error, and responds directly to the judges’ queries, keeping the focus on the need for correction rather than re‑litigating the entire case.

Beyond paperwork, Priyadharshini Khanna works closely with clients to gather fresh evidence, such as new witness statements, forensic re‑analysis, or documentary proof that was unavailable at trial. The lawyer also coordinates with expert consultants when technical aspects of the case require specialized input. This comprehensive preparation strengthens the revision petition and increases the likelihood of a favorable ruling. Throughout the process, the advocate maintains transparent communication, explaining each stage in plain language and setting realistic expectations about possible outcomes, whether it is a reduction of sentence, a modification of the order, or a complete quashing of the conviction.

Clients often commend Priyadharshini Khanna for diligence and strategic thinking. One client described how the revision petition led to a partial remission of a ten‑year sentence, citing a procedural lapse in the trial court’s consideration of mitigating factors. Another highlighted the successful overturning of a wrongful conviction after the lawyer presented a newly obtained forensic report that disproved the prosecution’s claim. These results reflect a proven ability to identify critical errors and to obtain corrective relief from the High Court.

If you feel that a criminal judgment was unjust or flawed, Priyadharshini Khanna can explain how a criminal revision works, file the necessary petition, and argue before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to seek redress. The lawyer’s commitment to meticulous research, effective advocacy, and protection of client rights aims to achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
