Angad Sihag

Profile description

Imagine being sentenced for a fraud case while still maintaining your business and personal obligations. The immediate impact on your finances, reputation, and freedom can be devastating. Angad Sihag is a dedicated advocate who focuses on fraud and cheating defence, as well as securing suspension of sentences pending appeal, operating in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Fraud and cheating allegations often involve detailed financial audits, electronic records, and multiple witnesses. Angad regularly assists clients by conducting a forensic review of the alleged transactions, identifying procedural irregularities in the investigation, and challenging the admissibility of incriminating documents. The advocate prepares a comprehensive defence brief that highlights lack of intent, errors in valuation, or misinterpretation of contracts, aiming to secure acquittal or a favorable settlement.

When a conviction leads to imprisonment, the ability to stay the sentence while an appeal is pending can preserve employment, family stability, and personal liberty. Angad has successfully filed applications for suspension of sentence under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, arguing that the conviction is likely to be overturned on appeal or that the appellant’s rights would be irreparably harmed by immediate execution of the sentence. By presenting precedent where higher courts have granted stays, the advocate strengthens the request for temporary relief.

Graduating top of the class from a premier law institute, Angad completed a specialized training program in cyber‑crimes and financial fraud at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Over the last nine years, the lawyer has defended more than forty fraud and cheating cases, secured suspension of sentences in twenty‑five appeals, and achieved acquittals or reduced penalties in sixteen high‑value matters. A notable achievement includes a case involving a multi‑crore Ponzi scheme where the High Court stayed the sentence pending appeal, allowing the appellant to preserve assets essential for restitution to victims.

The consultation begins with a meticulous examination of the FIR, charge sheet, and all financial documents related to the alleged fraud. Angad then outlines a tailored strategy, deciding whether to focus first on quashing the FIR, filing a defence petition, or seeking immediate suspension of the sentence. Throughout the litigation, the advocate prepares detailed written submissions, coordinates with forensic accountants, and rehearses cross‑examination techniques. Regular briefings are provided in clear language, enabling the client to understand the case trajectory and to make informed decisions at every stage.

Clients repeatedly praise Angad’s calm composure, analytical depth, and relentless pursuit of justice. The advocate’s skill in securing immediate suspension of sentences has allowed many appellants to continue working and supporting their families while the appeal proceeds. In fraud defence matters, the lawyer’s precise challenges to evidence and ability to negotiate settlements have resulted in reduced penalties or complete dismissals, safeguarding clients’ financial futures. Numerous client testimonials highlight the advocate’s transparent communication and decisive action that turned seemingly hopeless situations into successful outcomes.

If you are confronting a fraud or cheating charge and face a pending sentence, Angad Sihag offers the expertise to defend your case and to obtain a suspension of the sentence while the appeal is heard.
