Sanket Bajwa

Profile description

If you have been accused of a cybercrime – whether it involves hacking, online fraud, or the illegal distribution of digital material – you need a lawyer who understands the technical and legal nuances of the internet age. Sanket Bajwa is a Chandigarh‑based lawyer who focuses exclusively on cybercrime defence before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer combines a background in computer science with legal training to translate complex digital evidence into clear arguments that protect clients’ rights.

When the investigation begins, the first step is to secure the client’s digital trail and prevent further prejudice. Sanket regularly assists clients in obtaining forensic preservation orders, challenging unwarranted search and seizure of electronic devices, and ensuring that evidence is collected in compliance with statutory safeguards. The lawyer’s familiarity with the Information Technology Act and recent Supreme Court rulings enables strong objections to improperly obtained data.

In cases of alleged hacking or unauthorized access, the lawyer evaluates the intent behind the alleged act, the scope of the breach, and the presence of any mitigating circumstances such as lack of knowledge or coercion. Sanket has helped numerous clients negotiate reduced charges by showing that the activity was limited to exploratory testing or that the client was a victim of entrapment. Successful outcomes include acquittals, withdrawal of complaints, and negotiated settlements that avoid criminal convictions.

Financial cyber offences, such as phishing or online fraud, often involve intricate paper trails linking bank accounts, digital wallets, and email communications. The lawyer conducts detailed audits of transaction histories, works with forensic accountants, and prepares detailed charts that illustrate the client’s lack of involvement or the presence of third‑party perpetrators. Through rigorous cross‑examination and expert testimony, Sanket has secured dismissals where the prosecution’s case relied on speculative linkages rather than concrete proof.

With over eight years of practice, Sanket Bajwa holds an LL.B from Guru Nanak Dev University and a postgraduate diploma in cyber law. Regular attendance at national cyber‑security workshops keeps the lawyer updated on emerging threats and investigative techniques. Clients benefit from clear explanations of procedural options, realistic assessments of likely outcomes, and a defence strategy that balances technical detail with courtroom persuasion. Sanket’s track record shows that a focused, knowledgeable defence can prevent a cyber accusation from turning into a lifelong criminal record.
