Sahil Khanna

Profile description

When police place you in custody, the first question is how to secure freedom while the investigation proceeds. Sahil Khanna, a seasoned criminal lawyer before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, understands that urgency. With more than a decade defending clients whose liberty is at stake, the lawyer can quickly assess whether an arrest complies with law or crosses into illegality.

Wrongful arrests often trigger writ petitions that challenge detention. Sahil Khanna regularly files writ petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution, seeking immediate relief for clients who believe their arrest lacks legal basis. The lawyer is also adept at filing habeas corpus applications that demand production of the detained person before the court. By examining the arrest memo, FIR registration and presence of a valid charge‑sheet, the lawyer can argue for release on grounds that the detention is arbitrary or unconstitutional.

When the threat of imprisonment looms before charges are filed, anticipatory bail becomes vital. Sahil Khanna has obtained anticipatory bail in many cases, allowing clients to stay out of lock‑up while police complete their inquiry. The lawyer also handles transit anticipatory bail for those who must travel across state borders and default bail when jurisdiction lapses. If bail has been granted but the prosecution seeks cancellation, the lawyer presents strong counter‑arguments to preserve freedom. Whether the matter calls for regular bail after a charge‑sheet or interim bail while a larger application is pending, Sahil Khanna tailors each request to the facts and court precedent.

The lawyer’s practice goes beyond bail. After trial, many clients face criminal appeals that can overturn convictions or reduce sentences. Sahil Khanna has a solid record of appealing adverse judgments before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, highlighting procedural lapses, evidentiary gaps and misapplication of law. In breach of trust, fraud, cheating or cyber offence cases, the lawyer builds defences that dissect the prosecution’s narrative, challenge digital evidence admissibility and invoke statutory safeguards. Staying current with evolving cyber‑crime statutes, the lawyer ensures that clients accused of hacking, phishing or online fraud receive a defence that reflects the latest judicial interpretations.

Clients choose Sahil Khanna for a blend of experience, analytical depth and pragmatic advocacy. After graduating with honors from a top national law university, the lawyer honed courtroom skills during a distinguished tenure as a junior advocate under a senior advocate at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Over fifteen years, the lawyer has handled a spectrum of criminal matters, from petty theft to complex financial fraud, and earned commendations for swift bail grants and successful conviction reversals. The lawyer’s approach is collaborative: after an initial fact‑finding meeting, a clear strategy is laid out, key documents are scrutinised, and regular updates keep clients informed.

If you are confronting arrest, bail denial, a criminal charge of fraud, cheating, cybercrime or an appeal that threatens your future, the next step is to speak with a lawyer who can translate the procedural maze into concrete actions. Sahil Khanna offers a confidential consultation, evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and explains how the High Court’s jurisdiction can be leveraged to protect your rights. Prompt engagement often makes the difference between prolonged detention and swift release, and the lawyer is ready to fight for that outcome.
