Mehran Hegde

Profile description

If you have been convicted in a criminal case at the high‑court level and believe the judgment contains errors, or if you need a civil writ to protect your fundamental rights, Mehran Hegde can provide focused representation in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s practice combines high‑court criminal revision work with civil writ petitions, offering a versatile toolkit for complex legal challenges.

Criminal revision is a remedy that allows a higher court to examine an earlier judgment for jurisdictional mistakes, procedural lapses, or serious legal flaws. Mehran Hegde regularly assists clients who have exhausted their appeal options and still face an unjust conviction or excessive sentence. By filing a revision petition, the lawyer can highlight factual discrepancies, misapplication of law, or violations of due‑process rights. This approach often results in the high court setting aside or modifying the original order, providing relief to the affected party.

In parallel, the lawyer handles civil writ petitions that seek enforcement of fundamental rights, enforcement of contractual obligations, or relief against administrative actions. Whether you need a writ of certiorari to challenge an illegal government order, a writ of mandamus to compel a public authority to perform its duty, or a writ of habeas corpus to secure personal liberty, Mehran Hegde has the expertise to draft and argue these petitions effectively before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

When a matter requires escalation to the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer is prepared to transition the case smoothly. For criminal revisions that involve significant legal questions, the lawyer can seek the Supreme Court’s intervention through a special leave petition or other appropriate mechanisms. Similarly, civil writs that raise questions of national importance can be taken directly to the apex court. Mehran Hegde’s familiarity with both courts ensures that the procedural bridge is built correctly, avoiding delays and preserving the client’s rights.

Clients benefit from the lawyer’s systematic approach. After an initial consultation, Mehran Hegde outlines a clear plan of action, identifies the relevant statutes and precedents, and prepares all required documentation. The lawyer maintains regular contact, updating the client on filings, hearing dates, and any developments that arise from the court’s orders.

A hallmark of the lawyer’s practice is the ability to integrate criminal and civil strategies. For example, a client facing a criminal conviction may also need a civil writ to protect property that was seized during the investigation. By handling both aspects, Mehran Hegde ensures a coordinated defense that addresses all facets of the dispute, often resulting in comprehensive relief.

Over the years, the lawyer has secured numerous successes: reversals of wrongful convictions, reduction of sentences, and issuance of writs that restored property rights and halted unlawful administrative actions. These outcomes demonstrate a deep commitment to justice and an ability to navigate the procedural complexities of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

If you are confronting a criminal verdict that seems unfair, or you need a civil writ to enforce your rights, Mehran Hegde can help you chart a strategic path, file the appropriate petitions, and advocate vigorously to achieve a favorable result.
