Amrita Sen

Profile description

Imagine you have been sentenced in a criminal case, but you have strong reasons to believe the judgment was harsh or based on incomplete evidence. You need a lawyer who can secure a suspension of the sentence while an appeal is pending, or who can navigate a civil revision to correct a legal error. Amrita Sen, an experienced advocate based in Chandigarh, offers precisely that expertise.

Amrita Sen holds an LL.B. with honors from Delhi University and an LL.M. in Constitutional Law from the University of Mumbai. For the past fourteen years, they have been a regular practitioner before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and on several occasions have appeared before the Supreme Court of India on matters involving sentence suspension and civil revisions. Their early tenure as a research associate at a premier law institute sharpened their ability to dissect judgments and craft compelling arguments.

When a client seeks a suspension of sentence pending appeal, Amrita Sen evaluates the judgment for procedural lapses, disproportionate sentencing, or humanitarian grounds such as health concerns. The advocate then files a petition that outlines these factors, citing precedent from the Punjab and Haryana High Court where similar suspensions were granted. In a recent high‑profile case, Amrita Sen succeeded in obtaining a stay on a six‑month imprisonment, allowing the client to remain employed while the appeal proceeded.

Civil revision is another cornerstone of Amrita Sen’s practice. If a final order contains a legal mistake or an evident misappreciation of facts, the advocate drafts a revision petition that requests the High Court to set aside or modify the decree. Their skill lies in pinpointing the specific statutory breach and presenting concise, authoritative citations. A notable revision handled by Amrita Sen reversed an unjust property partition order, restoring the client’s rightful share.

Letters patent appeals, which involve reviewing the decisions of tribunals or lower courts, also fall under Amrita Sen’s purview. The advocate prepares meticulous briefs that highlight errors of law and procedural irregularities, then presents oral arguments before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or, when required, the Supreme Court of India. Their success in a letters patent appeal concerning a tax assessment led to a favorable reversal that saved the client substantial liabilities.

Throughout every case, Amrita Sen maintains transparent communication. They explain the procedural steps, the possible outcomes, and the timeline in simple terms. Clients appreciate the advocate’s ability to demystify complex legal processes while mounting a vigorous defense. With a proven record of securing sentence suspensions, obtaining favorable civil revisions, and winning letters patent appeals, Amrita Sen stands ready to protect your interests before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
