Anirudh Khandelwal

Profile description

Imagine receiving a court sentence that restricts your freedom while you are preparing an appeal, and simultaneously facing a disciplinary order from a government department that threatens your career. Anirudh Khandelwal provides comprehensive representation in such intertwined matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when required, before the Supreme Court of India.

Khandelwal earned an LL.B. from the University of Punjab and a Master of Laws focusing on Administrative Law from the National Law School of India University. With more than twelve years of practice, the lawyer has handled a wide spectrum of criminal, service and civil litigation, regularly appearing before the High Court and the Supreme Court. The lawyer’s track record includes securing sentence suspensions, defending service employees and obtaining revisions of civil judgments.

When a client seeks suspension of a sentence pending appeal, the lawyer first examines the judgment for errors of law, procedural infirmities or the presence of substantial questions that merit appellate review. Anirudh Khandelwal then drafts an application for suspension, emphasizing the client’s right to liberty, potential hardship and the likelihood of success on appeal. The lawyer presents oral arguments that persuade the High Court to stay execution of the sentence, allowing the client to remain out of custody while the appeal proceeds.

Service matters form another core area of practice. The lawyer assists government employees and pensioners who confront departmental inquiries, disciplinary proceedings or denial of benefits. Khandelwal reviews the service rules, the relevant statutes and the procedural history of the case, then files writ petitions or appeals that challenge unlawful action. The lawyer’s expertise extends to representation before service tribunals and, when the stakes are high, before the Supreme Court for review of significant service law questions.

In civil revision, the lawyer addresses errors in the original judgment that affect rights and assets. Anirudh Khandelwal reviews the trial court’s findings, pinpoints misapplication of law or factual mistakes, and files a revision petition requesting the High Court to correct the decision. The approach balances rigorous analysis with practical solutions, often achieving reduced awards, clarified property rights or reversal of punitive orders.

The lawyer’s ability to handle multiple fronts simultaneously benefits clients whose cases involve overlapping issues. For example, a civil servant sentenced under a criminal charge may need both suspension of the sentence and defense against a service disciplinary action. Khandelwal coordinates these parallel proceedings, ensuring that arguments presented in one forum reinforce those in the other, thereby strengthening the overall legal position.

Recent outcomes illustrate the lawyer’s effectiveness. In a high‑profile sentencing case, the lawyer secured a suspension order from the High Court, enabling the client to remain free while the appeal was heard, and later achieved a favorable judgment on the appeal itself. In a service dispute, the lawyer obtained reinstatement of a senior officer whose promotion had been unlawfully denied, along with back‑pay awarded by the Supreme Court. A civil revision petition filed by the lawyer resulted in a reduction of a large damages award, saving the client significant financial loss.

From the first meeting, Anirudh Khandelwal outlines a clear plan, explains key steps in plain language and provides regular updates, ensuring the client stays informed and confident throughout the case.

If you are confronting a sentence, a service disciplinary action or an unfavourable civil judgment, engaging a lawyer with proven High Court and Supreme Court experience can protect your liberty, career and financial interests. Anirudh Khandelwal delivers focused, strategic representation aimed at securing the relief you need and preserving your future.
