Tharun Shrivastava

Profile description

If you have been detained or are under investigation for an alleged online fraud, hacking incident, or any digital offence, the stress of navigating technical evidence and complex statutes can be overwhelming. Tharun Shrivastava is a dedicated criminal lawyer who regularly assists clients facing cyber‑crime allegations and can help protect your liberty through both defense strategies and fundamental safeguards such as habeas corpus petitions.

Shrivastava’s practice in cybercrime defence spans a wide range of offenses, from unauthorized access to data breaches, phishing schemes, and financial cyber‑frauds. The lawyer has spent over twelve years mastering the intersection of technology and criminal law, allowing a deep understanding of how digital footprints are collected, analyzed, and challenged. By scrutinizing the legality of electronic evidence, questioning chain‑of‑custody procedures, and presenting expert testimony, Shrivastava can dismantle prosecution narratives that rely on improperly obtained logs or misinterpreted code. The approach is tailored for the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where most of the initial trial matters are heard, and also prepared for escalation to the Supreme Court of India when a broader constitutional issue arises.

When personal liberty is at stake, a writ of habeas corpus becomes a powerful remedy. Shrivastava can explain how this constitutional petition works to demand the immediate release of a person who is being unlawfully detained. The lawyer has handled numerous high‑court habeas applications that resulted in prompt orders directing police to produce the detained individual before a magistrate, thereby exposing procedural violations. In cases where the detention raises questions of illegal search, denial of legal counsel, or lack of sufficient grounds, Shrivastava drafts precise petitions that compel the court to examine the legality of the custody. If the issue requires the highest judicial authority, the lawyer is experienced in filing and arguing such writs before the Supreme Court of India, where fundamental rights are vigorously defended.

The lawyer’s methodology blends legal acumen with technical insight. Shrivastava collaborates with digital forensics specialists to verify the authenticity of server logs, IP trace reports, and encrypted communications. This collaboration ensures that every technical argument presented in the High Court or Supreme Court is grounded in solid science. The lawyer also stays abreast of the latest amendments to the Information Technology Act and recent Supreme Court judgments that shape cyber‑crime jurisprudence. This up‑to‑date knowledge enables the crafting of arguments that not only challenge the evidence but also invoke statutory protections for privacy and due process.

Clients often praise Shrivastava for clear communication and a calm presence during high‑stress situations. From the first meeting, the lawyer outlines realistic expectations, possible defenses, and the procedural steps involved in filing a habeas petition. Regular updates are provided, and each filing is accompanied by a concise briefing that explains the legal reasoning in plain language. This transparency helps clients feel empowered and reduces the anxiety that comes with complex cyber investigations.

The lawyer’s record includes successful outcomes such as dismissals of charges due to lack of admissible electronic proof, reductions of penalties after negotiating settlement based on technical loopholes, and Supreme Court orders that restored liberty for individuals held without proper authorization. Reviews highlight Shrivastava’s ability to turn intricate digital evidence into compelling narratives that resonate with judges. With a reputation for diligence, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to protecting fundamental rights, Shrivastava strives to shield clients from the harsh impact of criminal accusations in the digital realm. If you are confronting a cyber‑crime charge or an unlawful detention, the lawyer can evaluate the facts, advise on the best course, and fight vigorously for your freedom.
