Pranay Sankhla

Profile description

When a lower court conviction in Punjab or Haryana threatens your freedom, you need a clear roadmap for challenging the decision. Pranay Sankhla is a dedicated lawyer who handles criminal appeals and revisions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and when necessary, prepares matters for the Supreme Court of India.

A criminal appeal is the proper vehicle when you believe the trial court erred in interpreting evidence, applying statutes, or assessing penalties. Sankhla reviews the trial record in detail, isolates the legal errors, and crafts an appellate brief that persuades the High Court to set aside or modify the conviction. The lawyer’s focus on statutory nuances and factual inconsistencies helps establish a compelling case for reversal.

A criminal revision, on the other hand, addresses situations where the High Court itself may have overlooked a material point or failed to exercise jurisdiction. Sankhla can move for a revision when the order is manifestly erroneous or when a procedural defect has deprived a party of a fair hearing. By filing a precise revision petition, the lawyer seeks either a correction of the record or a fresh consideration of the matter.

With more than twelve years of experience before both the High Court and the Supreme Court, Sankhla blends analytical depth with a practical courtroom style. The lawyer graduated from Guru Nanak Dev University with a first‑class LL.B. and later completed a postgraduate diploma in Criminal Law. Throughout the career, the lawyer has successfully argued over forty criminal appeals, achieving acquittals, sentence reductions, and bail restorations.

Clients value Sankhla’s methodical preparation and clear communication. The lawyer conducts a thorough case audit, identifies any missing documents, and advises on the best evidentiary strategy. Throughout the appeal or revision, Sankhla keeps the client informed about filing deadlines, hearing dates, and potential outcomes, allowing the client to make informed decisions at each stage.

The lawyer’s track record includes a recent revision that led the High Court to set aside an illegal attachment on a client’s property, and an appeal that secured a reduction of a ten‑year sentence to five years on the basis of procedural irregularities. These outcomes demonstrate how focused advocacy can translate into tangible relief.

If you are facing a criminal conviction or an adverse High Court order, a consultation with Pranay Sankhla can clarify the path forward. The lawyer will review the judgment, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of an appeal or revision, and outline a realistic strategy tailored to your circumstances.

When you decide to move ahead, Sankhla will prepare a meticulous petition, present persuasive arguments before the bench, and pursue any further relief at the Supreme Court if the High Court decision remains unsatisfactory. The lawyer’s commitment is to protect your rights and to seek the most favorable resolution possible.

Beyond the courtroom, Sankhla stays engaged with legal reform initiatives, attending seminars on criminal jurisprudence and contributing articles to law journals. This ongoing scholarship ensures that the lawyer brings the latest legal developments to each case, offering clients a cutting‑edge advantage. Whether you need an appeal, a revision, or guidance on navigating the criminal justice system, Sankhla’s comprehensive expertise is aimed at achieving justice.
