Chirag Nalluri

Profile description

If the police have registered an FIR that you believe is baseless, the immediate concern is how to prevent the investigation from proceeding. Chirag Nalluri is a lawyer who specializes in quashing FIRs filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as well as handling civil appeals that arise from lower‑court decisions. His dual focus enables clients to address criminal accusations and parallel civil disputes with a single, coherent legal strategy. The first step usually involves reviewing the FIR to identify procedural flaws or lack of substantive evidence.

Chirag earned his LL.B. from Panjab University and later completed an LL.M. in Criminal Law at the National Law School of India University. For the past fourteen years he has practiced before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and he has also appeared before the Supreme Court of India on several civil appeal matters. Earlier in his career he served as a clerk to a senior High Court advocate, gaining hands‑on experience in drafting petitions that challenge FIRs and in preparing appellate briefs for complex civil litigation.

Quashing an FIR requires pinpointing legal defects such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of procedural safeguards, or false accusations. Chirag meticulously examines the police report, the complaint, and any supporting documents to uncover inconsistencies. He then prepares a petition that articulates why the FIR should not stand, citing relevant case law and statutory provisions. In many instances he secures an interim stay, preventing the police from proceeding while the court reviews the merits. His ability to present a concise, fact‑driven argument often convinces the High Court to dismiss the FIR altogether.

On the civil side, Chirag handles appeals arising from civil judgments that affect property, contracts, and family matters. He drafts comprehensive appeal memoranda that highlight errors of law or misapplication of facts by the trial court. By integrating thorough research with strategic oral advocacy, he can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to reverse or modify unfavorable orders. When necessary, he escalates the appeal to the Supreme Court of India, leveraging his familiarity with the apex court’s standards for granting review.

Recent successes illustrate Chirag’s effectiveness across both practice areas. In a high‑profile FIR involving alleged cyber‑harassment, his petition demonstrated that the complaint lacked corroborative evidence, leading the High Court to quash the FIR and award compensation for wrongful arrest. In a civil property dispute, he filed an appeal that resulted in the High Court setting aside a lower‑court decree that had wrongly divided ancestral land, restoring ownership to his client. He also secured a stay from the Supreme Court in a commercial contract case, allowing his client to continue operations while the appeal is pending.

Clients appreciate Chirag’s clear communication and realistic assessment of case prospects. He begins every engagement by outlining the procedural timeline, potential outcomes, and the resources required. Throughout the process he provides regular updates and prepares the client for any court appearance, ensuring confidence in the courtroom. His methodical preparation, combined with a proactive approach to evidence gathering, often leads to early settlements or favorable rulings without protracted litigation.

If you are facing an FIR that threatens your reputation or a civil judgment that jeopardizes your rights, Chirag Nalluri can evaluate the facts, craft a tailored petition, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when needed, before the Supreme Court of India. By partnering with Chirag you obtain a dedicated lawyer who blends criminal and civil appellate expertise to protect your interests and pursue the most advantageous resolution.
