Darshit Sankhla

Profile description

Being taken into custody can leave a person feeling trapped, especially when the alleged offence carries a potential long‑term sentence. Darshit Sankhla, a proactive criminal lawyer operating out of Chandigarh, specialises in securing interim bail for clients who need immediate release while their case proceeds through the courts. By focusing on both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer brings a dual‑court strategy that maximises the chances of swift relief.

Darshit Sankhla regularly assists individuals who have been arrested on serious charges, ranging from economic offences to violent crimes, to file interim bail applications that address the urgency of their situation. The lawyer begins by gathering all pertinent documents, such as the charge sheet, medical records, and any evidence suggesting that the accused is not a flight risk. By presenting a clear justification for release—such as family responsibilities, ongoing employment, or health concerns—the lawyer can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to grant temporary liberty pending the final trial.

When the High Court denies bail or when the matter involves a substantial question of law, Darshit Sankhla can take the fight to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer is experienced in preparing special leave petitions that challenge the lower court’s denial and in filing Supreme Court review petitions that specifically target procedural irregularities in the bail process. By highlighting constitutional guarantees of liberty and the principle that pre‑trial detention should be a last resort, the lawyer aims to secure a larger, more definitive bail order from the nation’s apex court.

Educationally, the lawyer holds a Master of Laws with honours from a prestigious law school, and has completed a certification in criminal procedure that deepens the understanding of bail jurisprudence. Over the past fourteen years, the lawyer has served as a junior advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where the practical exposure to bail hearings laid a solid foundation for later Supreme Court advocacy. The lawyer has successfully obtained interim bail for clients accused of high‑profile financial fraud, for those charged under the National Security Act, and for individuals caught in complex investigations that involve both state and central agencies.

Clients repeatedly commend the lawyer’s calm and methodical approach. From the first meeting, Darshit Sankhla explains the legal standards that the courts apply when considering bail, such as the severity of the alleged offence, the risk of tampering with evidence, and the probability of the accused appearing for future hearings. The lawyer then sketches a realistic timeline: filing the initial application, presenting oral arguments, and, if necessary, advancing the matter to the Supreme Court. Throughout the process, the lawyer maintains open communication, updates the client on each court date, and prepares for any conditions that the court may impose, such as surrender of passport or regular reporting to a police station.

If you are currently detained or anticipate detention, early intervention is critical. Darshit Sankhla combines thorough case analysis with seasoned advocacy in both the High Court and the Supreme Court, striving to protect personal freedom while the legal process unfolds. The lawyer’s promise is to explore every available legal avenue, file compelling applications, and fight vigorously for the client’s right to be out of custody pending trial. Acting swiftly, preserving evidence, and engaging a specialist in interim bail can dramatically improve the likelihood of obtaining the freedom you deserve before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India.
