Simarpreet Khandelwal practices before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, focusing exclusively on FIR quashing petitions. The lawyer begins by scrutinizing the FIR for procedural defects, lack of jurisdiction, or insufficient factual basis.

The petition may also include a request for a direction to the police to cease any further investigation.

When the FIR is quashed, the client avoids the burden of a criminal trial, potential arrest, and the stigma associated with a criminal case.

The lawyer also engages with the investigating officer to negotiate a withdrawal where possible, and prepares for a robust oral argument before the bench.

Over the past nine years, Simarpreet Khandelwal has filed dozens of FIR quashing petitions, achieving successful outcomes in the majority of cases. Senior judges have noted the lawyer’s precision in identifying legal infirmities and the persuasive quality of oral submissions.
