Nakul Chadha

Profile description

If a police report has been filed against you and you fear immediate arrest, the first question is often whether the FIR can be challenged before it turns into a full criminal trial. Nakul Chadha is a practitioner who regularly assists clients in filing High Court petitions to quash FIRs that were lodged without proper basis or jurisdiction. By scrutinising the facts, the investigating officer’s report and the applicable procedural law, Nakul Chadha can explain how a swift petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court may halt the investigation and protect your liberty while the matter is examined.

Beyond FIR quashing, Nakul Chadha handles criminal revisions where a lower court’s judgment appears to be erroneous or contrary to law. In such revisions, the advocate prepares a detailed memorandum that highlights the legal flaws and requests the High Court to set aside or modify the order. Whether the dispute concerns sentencing, evidential rulings or procedural irregularities, Nakul Chadha leverages extensive experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to seek corrective relief that can restore balance to the case.

When the threat of arrest intensifies, many people turn to anticipatory bail to stay ahead of the police. Nakul Chadda can help you understand the requirements for obtaining anticipatory bail, draft a compelling petition, and argue for conditions that safeguard your personal freedom. If bail has already been granted but the prosecution seeks its cancellation, the same advocate can represent you in a bail cancellation hearing, presenting facts and legal arguments that justify the continuation of bail. Conversely, if a default bail was issued because of procedural lapses, Nakul Chadha knows how to approach the High Court to regularise the bail status and ensure that your rights are not compromised by technical oversights.

The procedural landscape also includes the suspension of a sentence pending appeal, a step that can prevent a conviction from taking effect while the appellate process unfolds. Nakul Chadha routinely prepares petitions requesting the High Court to suspend sentencing, outlining the merits of the appeal and the potential hardship of immediate enforcement. When a case needs to be moved to a more appropriate jurisdiction, the advocate files criminal case transfer petitions, arguing for relocation on grounds such as the convenience of parties, the location of evidence, or the interest of justice. Additionally, Nakul Chadha is adept at filing look‑out circular writ petitions, which can halt the issuance of a police look‑out circular that restricts a person’s movement, and can also assist in quashing proclamation orders that declare a accused to be a proclaimed offender.

For matters that ascend beyond the High Court, Nakul Chadha prepares Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) to the Supreme Court of India, challenging High Court orders that have a substantial impact on a client’s rights. The advocate evaluates the legal questions of national importance, drafts concise petitions, and presents oral arguments that aim to obtain the Supreme Court’s discretionary review. In parallel, the same practitioner can seek the quashing of proclamation orders at the High Court level, ensuring that the procedural safeguards against being declared a proclaimed offender are robustly defended.

Clients who work with Nakul Chadha appreciate a straightforward approach: clear explanations of each step, prompt filing of necessary documents, and diligent follow‑up on court notices. The advocate’s familiarity with both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India enables a seamless transition when a case requires higher judicial scrutiny. By focusing on criminal matters that affect personal freedom—whether through bail, FIR challenges, revisions or higher‑court petitions—Nakul Chadha provides a reliable avenue for those seeking to protect their rights and navigate the complexities of criminal procedure in Chandigarh and beyond.
