Mridul Dar

Profile description

Facing a charge of sexual offence can feel like your world is collapsing. Mridul Dar understands how overwhelming that fear can be and steps in to protect your rights from the first moment a complaint is filed. With a focus on sexual offence defence, the lawyer works exclusively in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when needed, before the Supreme Court of India. Clients who reach out to Mridul Dar find a clear roadmap that blends aggressive courtroom tactics with careful case analysis.

Mridul Dar earned an LL.B. from Panjab University and completed a master’s in criminal law at the National Law School of India University. Over twelve years of practice, the lawyer has represented dozens of accused persons in complex sexual offence matters. Regularly assists clients in filing anticipatory bail, challenging investigation procedures, and preparing robust cross‑examination strategies. The advocate’s familiarity with the procedural nuances of the Punjab and Haryana High Court allows rapid motion filing and effective use of protective orders.

The lawyer examines every piece of evidence, from forensic reports to digital footprints, to identify inconsistencies that can weaken the prosecution’s case. Mridul Dar can help you understand the standards of proof required at each stage and can explain how victim‑witness statements are scrutinised under the Evidence Act. When the case escalates, the advocate prepares comprehensive written submissions for the High Court and, if an appeal is necessary, drafts persuasive special leave petitions for the Supreme Court of India.

Recent successes include securing dismissal of charges in three high‑profile cases where forensic evidence was mishandled, and obtaining acquittal for a client after the Supreme Court set aside an erroneous conviction. Clients commend the lawyer for clear communication, steady composure in the courtroom, and a reputation for turning adverse facts into viable defences. The advocate also negotiates settlements when appropriate, ensuring that any compromise protects the client’s future prospects. Throughout the process, Mridul Dar keeps families informed about developments and next steps.

The advocate also advises on post‑conviction remedies. When a verdict is unfavorable, Mridul Dar can file an appeal to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging legal errors, improper application of evidence, or procedural lapses. If the High Court decision does not provide relief, the lawyer prepares a Special Leave Petition to the Supreme Court of India, arguing that the case involves substantial questions of law that warrant the apex court’s intervention. This layered approach ensures every possible avenue is explored before a final judgment is imposed.

If you have been served with a notice under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act or any other sexual crime provision, bring all documents to the first meeting. The lawyer will review the police report, assess potential violations of due‑process rights, and outline a defence strategy tailored to your situation. Mridul Dar promises diligent preparation, vigorous representation, and a commitment to safeguarding your liberty and reputation.
