Amrita Khanna

Profile description

If you have just been arrested or are facing a pending criminal case, the first question on your mind is often how quickly you can get out of jail while the matter is being resolved. Amrita Khanna understands that urgency and has built a practice around securing bail and related relief in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. From ordinary bail applications to complex anticipatory bail petitions, Amrita Khanna works to protect your liberty as soon as possible.

When a charge sheet has not yet been filed, Amrita Khanna can file a High Court bail application that seeks your immediate release. The lawyer is experienced in obtaining default bail when the police have failed to complete the required procedures within the statutory time. If the prosecution has already secured bail and new circumstances arise, Amrita Khanna can argue for bail cancellation, ensuring that any misstep by the authorities does not keep you detained longer than necessary. In cases where the court has already granted bail but the sentence is under appeal, the lawyer can move for suspension of the sentence pending the outcome, providing a crucial safety net while the higher bench reviews the decision.

Sometimes the trouble begins even before a formal charge, such as when an FIR has been lodged on shaky grounds. Amrita Khanna regularly assists clients in filing High Court FIR quashing petitions, challenging the very registration of the first information report. When a proclamation order has been issued against you—often used to declare you a proclaimed offender—Amrita Khanna can seek its quashing, removing the legal cloud that can lead to arrest without notice. The lawyer also handles look‑out circular writ petitions, contesting orders that direct police across the country to apprehend you, and works to have those circulars set aside when they are not justified.

A fundamental safeguard of personal liberty is the criminal writ of habeas corpus. Amrita Khanna has successfully filed High Court habeas corpus petitions to compel authorities to produce a detained person before the court and to justify the detention. The lawyer also prepares criminal writ applications that address violations of fundamental rights, ensuring that any unlawful confinement is promptly challenged. When a sentence has been imposed but you have a pending appeal, Amrita Khanna can request a suspension of the sentence, allowing you to remain out of jail while the appellate court examines the case.

Transfers of criminal cases from one jurisdiction to another can significantly affect the progress and outcome of a trial. Amrita Khanna can move for High Court criminal case transfer when staying in the original court would be prejudicial or when a more suitable bench is needed. The lawyer also drafts and files other High Court writ petitions that protect your rights, such as those seeking the cancellation of orders that unduly restrict your movement or liberty.

Amrita Khanna approaches every matter with a focus on speed, precision, and a deep understanding of Punjab and Haryana High Court procedures. The lawyer reviews the facts, gathers evidence, and prepares concise applications that meet the exacting standards of the bench. By maintaining regular contact with clients, Amrita Khanna keeps you informed of each step, explains the legal reasoning behind every filing, and advises on the best strategy to achieve release or relief.

If you are confronting criminal charges, a pending bail hearing, or an unlawful detention order, Amrita Khanna can help you understand your options, prepare the necessary paperwork, and advocate for your freedom before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
