Profile description

A police raid arrives at your doorstep, and you are accused under the POCSO Act. Nandana Guleria is ready to defend your rights in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Nandana Guleria earned an LL.M. in criminal law from National Law University, Jodhpur, and has practiced for eleven years in Chandigarh. The lawyer specializes in POCSO defence, habeas corpus applications, and seeking suspension of sentence pending appeal. Over the years the advocate has represented dozens of clients facing serious accusations involving minors, securing bail, dismissal, or reduced penalties through meticulous case work.

The lawyer begins by scrutinising the investigation report for procedural lapses, improper custodial interrogation, and violations of the child’s rights under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Nandana Guleria can help you understand the burden of proof and can explain how forensic evidence is examined for chain‑of‑custody errors. When a client is detained unlawfully, the advocate promptly files a habeas corpus petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, demanding immediate release on the ground of illegal confinement.

Recently, the lawyer obtained an order of release on bail for a client whose arrest was based on a coerced statement. In another matter, the advocate secured a stay on the execution of a sentencing order while an appeal was pending, allowing the client to remain free during the review process. The judiciary has praised Nandana Guleria for precise legal drafting and for presenting compelling oral arguments that highlight the constitutional protection against arbitrary detention.

If you are charged under POCSO, bring the FIR, medical reports, and any communication records to the initial meeting. The lawyer will review the evidence, identify any violations of the law, and outline a defence strategy that may include filing an application for suspension of sentence under Section 432 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The advocate also advises families on how to protect the child’s welfare while the case proceeds, ensuring that protective measures are in place without compromising the defence.

The advocate leads a dedicated team of paralegals who track recent POCSO judgments and stay updated on Supreme Court pronouncements that affect high‑court practice. This enables Nandana Guleria to craft arguments that align with the latest legal trends, increasing the chances of a favourable outcome.

Choosing a lawyer who combines deep knowledge of child protection statutes with a strong track record in high‑court petitions can safeguard both liberty and reputation. Schedule a confidential consultation, and let the advocate map out the steps needed to challenge the charges, secure immediate relief, and protect your future.
