Profile description

Facing a sudden police raid and the threat of immediate arrest can feel overwhelming. If you find yourself accused of a serious offence and fear that the law may be applied before you can prepare a defence, Kaustubh Sivakumar can step in at the earliest stage. With a focus on anticipatory bail applications before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, this lawyer helps clients secure protection from arrest while the investigation proceeds.

Anticipatory bail is a pre‑emptive remedy that stops police from detaining a person who anticipates being charged. Kaustubh Sivakumar regularly assists clients in drafting compelling petitions, gathering supporting affidavits, and presenting oral arguments that emphasize the lack of flight risk, the absence of tampering with evidence, and the need to protect personal liberty.

By highlighting mitigating circumstances and offering strong legal precedent, the lawyer strives to obtain bail orders that let clients continue their lives and work while the case unfolds.

A proclamation order can declare a person as an absconder when they fail to appear in court, leading to attachment of property or issuance of warrants.

The lawyer’s deep familiarity with the procedural rules of the Punjab and Haryana High Court enables swift preparation of evidence, expert testimonies, and legal arguments that persuade the bench to set aside the proclamation.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s clear communication style. Kaustubh Sivakumar takes the time to explain each step of the bail process, the documents required, and the likely timeline. The lawyer also offers realistic assessments of risk and strength, allowing clients to make informed decisions. When complex financial or family issues intersect with criminal proceedings, the lawyer coordinates with forensic accountants and private investigators to build a robust defence narrative.

The commitment to results is reflected in consistent success rates.
