Naina Sankhla

Profile description

In the moment you find yourself behind bars without a clear timeline for release, the first question is whether you can obtain bail. Naina Sankhla is a criminal law advocate who specialises in securing default bail, filing habeas corpus petitions, and pursuing criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India.

Naina Sankhla earned a LL.B. from the University of Delhi and completed a postgraduate diploma in Criminal Procedure. With over twelve years of practice, the advocate has handled a wide spectrum of pre‑trial matters in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and has argued several criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer regularly assists clients who face prolonged detention without trial.

Default bail is the remedy when a court has not set a bail amount within the prescribed period. Naina Sankhla can explain how the lawyer files an urgent application to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, presenting arguments that the accused’s right to liberty is being infringed. The advocate often secures temporary release while the substantive bail hearing is prepared, preventing unnecessary incarceration.

When detention is carried out without legal authority, a habeas corpus petition becomes vital. Naina Sankhla routinely files such petitions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, demanding that the detaining authority justify the custody. By meticulously gathering medical reports, arrest records, and witness statements, the advocate builds a compelling case that often compels the court to order immediate release or a review of the detention order.

Some convictions are challenged on the ground that the trial court erred in interpreting law or misapplied evidence. Naina Sankhla prepares and files criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India, arguing that a fundamental miscarriage of justice occurred. The lawyer can help you understand the high threshold for review, the importance of preserving the record, and the strategic timing of the petition. Successful reviews have resulted in the Supreme Court setting aside convictions or remanding cases for fresh trial.

Among notable achievements, the advocate secured default bail for a client accused of a financial crime within 48 hours of arrest, citing procedural lapses in the filing of the charge sheet. In 2022, a habeas corpus petition filed by Naina Sankhla led the Punjab and Haryana High Court to order the immediate release of a detainee whose detention lacked any judicial warrant. Most recently, the lawyer obtained a landmark Supreme Court judgment that clarified the scope of review for cases where evidence was obtained through illegal surveillance, resulting in the overturning of a severe sentence.

Naina Sankhla believes that clear communication eases the stress of criminal proceedings. The lawyer provides regular updates on filing status, explains each step of the process in plain language, and ensures that clients understand their rights at every stage. Transparent fee structures and a client‑centric approach allow families to focus on supporting the accused rather than worrying about procedural complexities.

By choosing Naina Sankhla, you gain an advocate who combines rigorous legal analysis with compassionate support. The lawyer’s experience across the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India equips the client with a strategic advantage in securing bail, challenging unlawful detention, and pursuing high‑level review of convictions. With a proven record of results, Naina Sankhla is ready to fight for your liberty and peace of mind.
