Amrita Kohli

Profile description

When a criminal conviction has already resulted in a sentence but a fresh appeal is poised to challenge the decision, living under an immediate imprisonment order can feel unbearable. Amrita Kohli steps in at that crucial moment, offering a clear pathway to request a suspension of the sentence while the appeal proceeds before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The suspension petition asks the court to stay the execution of the sentence until the appellate bench delivers its verdict. The lawyer prepares a detailed affidavit outlining the merits of the appeal, the potential prejudice to the client if imprisonment continues, and any health or family considerations that strengthen the case. By presenting case law and statutory provisions, Amrita Kohli can persuade the High Court to grant relief that preserves liberty during the legal fight.

Look Out Circulars (LOCs) are issued to prevent a person from leaving the jurisdiction while a criminal or civil matter is pending. When an LOC threatens a client’s freedom of movement, Amrita Kohli files a writ petition challenging its validity. The lawyer scrutinises the procedural origin of the circular, argues any violation of constitutional rights, and requests the High Court to quash or modify the order. Successful challenges have restored the ability of clients to travel for work, medical treatment, or family emergencies without compromising the underlying case.

Election petitions address grievances related to the conduct of elections, from candidate disqualification to alleged procedural irregularities. When a client believes that the election results in a constituency have been compromised, Amrita Kohli prepares a comprehensive petition that outlines factual inaccuracies, violations of the Representation of People Act, and the impact on democratic rights. The lawyer files the petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeks interim relief such as stay of the election result, and argues for a re‑poll or correction where appropriate. The advocate’s grasp of electoral law helps secure swift judicial intervention that protects the client’s political interests.
