Jasraj Khanna

Profile description

If you have just received a notice of criminal proceedings or an order that threatens your liberty, the first thing you need is a clear path to protect your rights. Jasraj Khanna steps in at that critical moment, guiding you through the complex procedures of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and working to keep you out of jail while the case moves forward.

Jasraj Khanya specializes in High Court criminal appeals, taking cases that have already been decided in lower courts and challenging them before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Whether the appeal involves a conviction, a sentence that feels excessive, or a procedural error, Jasraj Khanna can craft a detailed petition that highlights the legal flaws and argues for reversal, reduction, or modification of the decision. The lawyer’s approach combines a thorough review of the trial record with strategic use of precedent, ensuring that every argument is tailored to the specific facts of the case.

When a client’s freedom is at risk before a trial even begins, Jasraj Khanna moves quickly to obtain anticipatory bail. By filing a High Court anticipatory bail petition, the lawyer helps you avoid arrest and detention while the investigation proceeds. The same expertise applies to default bail applications, where the lawyer seeks release when the accused has not yet been presented before a court or when procedural lapses have occurred. If bail has already been granted but the prosecution seeks cancellation, Jasraj Khanya is experienced in defending against bail cancellation petitions, presenting evidence that the conditions of bail remain satisfied and that the accused does not pose a flight risk or a threat to public safety.

In cases where a bail order has already been issued but the petitioner wishes to suspend the sentence pending appeal, Jasraj Khanna prepares High Court petitions for suspension of sentence. This step can keep a convicted person out of prison while the appeal is being heard, preserving the presumption of innocence and allowing the individual to maintain employment, family responsibilities, and community ties. The lawyer also handles requests for transfer of criminal cases to a different jurisdiction within the Punjab and Haryana High Court system, arguing for relocation when it serves the interests of justice, such as ensuring a fair trial or addressing safety concerns.

Another critical tool in the lawyer’s toolkit is the writ of habeas corpus. If a client is detained unlawfully or under questionable circumstances, Jasraj Khanna can file a criminal writ and habeas corpus petition, compelling the authorities to justify the detention before the High Court. The lawyer also prepares look‑out circular writ petitions, challenging the issuance of circulars that restrict a person’s movement across state lines and often lead to unnecessary arrests. By addressing these circulars promptly, the lawyer prevents further escalation of the case and protects the client’s right to travel.

Finally, Jasraj Khanya deals with the quashing of proclamation orders, which are sometimes used to declare an accused as a proclaimed offender. By filing a petition to quash such orders, the lawyer can restore the accused’s legal standing, remove the stigma of being proclaimed, and eliminate the risk of harsher punitive measures. This work often goes hand‑in‑hand with other bail and writ applications, creating a coordinated defense strategy that safeguards liberty on multiple fronts.

Across all these practice areas, Jasraj Khanya works exclusively before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, bringing a focused understanding of the court’s procedures, precedents, and the expectations of its judges. The lawyer’s method involves early case assessment, clear communication of options, and aggressive advocacy on every relevant motion. Whether you need an anticipatory bail petition filed within hours, a robust appeal against a conviction, or a writ to challenge unlawful detention, Jasraj Khanna provides the expertise and dedication required to navigate the High Court’s criminal jurisdiction. By choosing this lawyer, you gain a steadfast advocate who puts the protection of your freedom at the forefront of every legal step.
