Yuvraj Kohli

Profile description

Imagine being charged in a district court far from your home, while the evidence suggests that the trial should be heard closer to where you live and work. Or picture a situation where a look‑out circular restricts your movements, jeopardizing your freedom even before any conviction. A motor‑vehicle accident that left you injured may also entail a protracted battle for fair compensation. For each of these challenges, Yuvraj Kohli, an experienced advocate based in Chandigarh, offers focused representation before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when needed, before the Supreme Court of India.

Yuvraj Kohli holds a doctorate in law from a premier institution and a specialized certification in criminal procedure. Over the last fifteen years, the advocate has handled more than one hundred case‑transfer petitions, successfully moving trials to jurisdictions that favor the client’s right to a fair and convenient hearing. The lawyer’s deep knowledge of Section 406 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the high court’s precedents on jurisdictional matters enables swift, persuasive arguments that courts respect.

Look‑out circulars (LOC) are powerful tools that can restrict travel without a conviction, often causing professional and personal hardship. Yuvraj Kohli regularly assists clients in filing writ petitions that challenge unlawful LOCs. By scrutinizing the procedural issuance and demonstrating the absence of a legitimate threat, the advocate has secured the quashing of dozens of circulars. The lawyer also knows how to present compelling evidence of ties to the community, thereby convincing the high court to lift travel bans while the underlying investigation proceeds.

Motor‑accident victims often find that the initial compensation award does not reflect the true medical expenses, loss of earnings, or psychological trauma suffered. Yuvraj Kohli can help by preparing meticulous compensation appeals that detail every cost, including future rehabilitation needs. The advocate works with certified medical experts to produce robust bills and uses case law from the Supreme Court to argue for a fair quantum. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s tenacity in negotiating settlements and, when necessary, litigating before the high court to secure the deserved amount.

Success stories underline the advocate’s effectiveness. In a 2021 case‑transfer petition, the lawyer shifted a high‑profile criminal trial from a distant court to Chandigarh, citing convenience and the right to an impartial venue. The high court granted the transfer, and the client benefited from reduced travel costs and better access to witnesses. In another instance, a look‑out circular against a businessman was lifted after the advocate demonstrated that the alleged activities lacked evidentiary support, allowing the client to resume international travel. A recent motor‑accident appeal secured a compensation sum 30 % higher than the original award, reflecting comprehensive documentation.

Beyond courtroom battles, Yuvraj Kohli conducts regular seminars for clients and their families, explaining how case‑transfer petitions are crafted, what to expect from a writ petition against a look‑out circular, and how compensation calculations are performed. The advocate also publishes monthly briefs summarizing recent high‑court and Supreme Court rulings that impact these practice areas. This proactive education empowers clients to make informed choices and reduces the stress that often accompanies complex legal proceedings.
