Arjan Saikia regularly assists individuals accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The lawyer examines the FIR for procedural defects, reviews the collection of evidence, and assesses the credibility of the alleged victim’s statements.

The lawyer also prepares a robust defence for cases that proceed to trial. Arjan Saikia analyses forensic reports, challenges the admissibility of any improperly obtained material, and cross‑examines witnesses to expose inconsistencies. The lawyer’s strategy aims to demonstrate the absence of intent, lack of evidence, or procedural violations that could lead to dismissal or acquittal.

Arjan Saikia earned a Master of Laws from Panjab University and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Delhi. With over ten years of courtroom experience, the lawyer has litigated extensively in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and has appeared before the Supreme Court of India on appellate matters involving POCSO statutes.
