Profile description

If you have just been arrested and are staring at a courtroom door, the first question that runs through your mind is how to get out of custody as quickly and safely as possible. Gaurik Khanna understands that urgency and can move swiftly to secure interim bail, default bail or even challenge a bail cancellation through a criminal revision petition filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By examining the particulars of the charge, the strength of the evidence and any procedural lapses, they can craft a compelling argument that often leads to immediate release while the case proceeds.

When the allegations involve fraud, cheating, cyber‑related offences or criminal breach of trust, the stakes rise sharply because the prosecution typically relies on complex paperwork, digital trails and financial records. Gaurik Khanna regularly assists clients facing these accusations, conducting a detailed forensic review of the claim, identifying gaps in the prosecution’s narrative and presenting a robust defence that highlights lawful conduct, lack of intent or mistaken identity.

Cybercrime cases bring a unique blend of technology and law, and a defence strategy must speak the language of both. Gaurik Khanna stays current with the latest cyber statutes and judicial interpretations, enabling them to explain to clients how alleged violations of the Information Technology Act can be countered. Whether the issue is unauthorized access, phishing, or online fraud, they can argue that the alleged act falls outside the statutory definition, that proper consent existed, or that procedural safeguards were ignored during the investigation. These arguments have helped clients avoid criminal convictions that could otherwise damage careers and personal reputations.

Bail matters are not limited to initial release; sometimes a court may order a revocation or set overly restrictive conditions. In such moments, Gaurik Khanna can file a bail cancellation appeal or a fresh revision petition, pointing out changes in circumstances, the client’s cooperation with the investigation, or the disproportionality of continued detention. By leveraging precedents from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, they can persuade judges to restore or modify bail, allowing the accused to continue working, supporting family and preparing a defence without the crushing weight of jail.

For those who feel their personal liberty is being unlawfully restrained, a habeas corpus petition offers a powerful remedy. Gaurik Khanna can draft and file a petition that challenges the legality of detention, forcing the court to examine whether the arrest and subsequent custody comply with constitutional safeguards. This tool has been used successfully to secure release in cases where the police failed to produce a valid charge sheet or where procedural delays threatened the right to a fair trial.
