Amrita Khanna

Profile description

If you have been arrested and are worried about losing your freedom before a trial, the first question is often whether bail can be secured. Amrita Khanna, a criminal lawyer practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, understands how critical swift bail relief can be for you and your family. With a focus on interim bail, default bail and bail cancellation, Amrita Khanna works to keep you out of custody while the case proceeds, and can explain the options and steps required for each type of bail application.

The NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act brings severe penalties and complex procedural hurdles. Amrita Khanna has defended clients charged under the NDPS Act, challenging the legality of searches, questioning the admissibility of seized material and raising doubts about procedural lapses. By carefully examining the investigation records and presenting strong factual counter‑arguments, the lawyer seeks to reduce or dismiss the charges, aiming for the most favorable outcome in a high‑stakes environment.

Financial crimes such as fraud, cheating and criminal breach of trust often involve intricate documentation and a tangled trail of transactions. Amrita Khanna can help you navigate these allegations, reviewing the prosecution’s evidence and identifying inconsistencies. Whether the case stems from a misrepresented investment scheme, a dishonest partnership dispute or an alleged embezzlement, the lawyer prepares a robust defence that highlights lack of intent, procedural defects or wrongful attribution of liability. Clients regularly report that this approach not only protects their reputation but also minimizes exposure to fines and imprisonment.

Cybercrime offences have surged, and the investigative techniques used by police can be opaque to someone without technical expertise. Amrita Khanna’s practice includes cybercrime defence, covering charges such as hacking, identity theft, online fraud and the unlawful transmission of data. The lawyer works with digital forensic experts to verify the integrity of electronic evidence and can argue that the alleged activity was unintentional, unauthorised or fell outside the statutory definition of an offence. This helps to secure acquittals or negotiate reduced penalties where a full defence is not feasible.

When a court order appears to infringe on personal liberty, a habeas corpus petition can be the appropriate remedy. Amrita Khanna has filed habeas corpus applications in the Punjab and Haryana High Court to challenge unlawful detention, ensuring that constitutional rights are upheld. By presenting clear factual narratives and citing relevant jurisprudence, the lawyer can compel the court to review the legality of the detention and, where appropriate, order immediate release.

Every criminal matter in the High Court requires a clear strategy and precise timing. Amrita Khanna regularly assists clients with bail cancellation applications when the prosecution’s case weakens after the bail has been granted. The lawyer also prepares for bail revocation hearings, arguing that the conditions of bail have been complied with and that there is no longer any risk of flight or tampering with evidence. This dual capability—securing bail initially and protecting it later—offers a comprehensive safety net for anyone facing criminal charges.

Clients who come to Amrita Khanna often feel overwhelmed by legal jargon and the fear of an adverse verdict. The lawyer takes the time to explain each stage of the process, from filing the initial bail petition to presenting a detailed defence in NDPS, fraud, cybercrime or breach of trust cases. By keeping communication open and transparent, the lawyer ensures that you know what to expect and can make informed decisions about settlement options or trial strategies.

If you are confronting criminal allegations and need a professional who can move quickly, think strategically and fight for your liberty, Amrita Khanna stands ready to represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The focus remains on protecting your rights, reducing potential penalties and, wherever possible, securing your release while the matter is resolved.
