Adithya Kashyap

Profile description

A serious criminal charge has landed you in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and the prospect of an appeal to the Supreme Court of India feels overwhelming. In that situation, you need a lawyer who can defend you against sexual offence accusations and cybercrime allegations while also navigating the complex terrain of Special Leave Petitions for serious offences. Adithya Kashyap blends expertise across these domains to protect your rights at every judicial level.

Adithya’s practice includes defending clients accused of sexual offences, where the stakes involve both reputation and liberty. He scrutinises the investigation for procedural lapses, unlawful searches, and improper handling of evidence. By challenging the admissibility of digital communications and forensic reports, Adithya often creates reasonable doubt that can lead to acquittal or reduced charges. In cybercrime defence, he stays current with evolving statutes and technology, enabling him to contest allegations of hacking, fraud, or identity theft by exposing gaps in the prosecution’s technical expertise.

Educated at a leading national law school, Adithya earned a postgraduate diploma in Cyber Law and later completed a master’s in Criminal Justice. He began his career as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where he handled a broad spectrum of criminal matters for eight years. Over the past ten years, he has shifted his focus to appellate advocacy before the Supreme Court, filing Special Leave Petitions in serious offence cases that demand a review of lower‑court errors. His portfolio includes more than a hundred SLPs, many of which have resulted in the Supreme Court overturning convictions or granting remission of sentences.

During an initial meeting, Adithya will review the case file, examine electronic evidence, and discuss the factual matrix in detail. He explains how a Special Leave Petition differs from a normal appeal, and when a Criminal Review Petition may be more appropriate. He regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive affidavits, securing expert cyber forensics, and meeting stringent filing deadlines imposed by the Supreme Court. His approach is to build a layered defence that works simultaneously at the High Court level and, if needed, at the apex court.

Partnering with Adithya Kashyap gives you a lawyer who combines deep knowledge of sexual offence and cybercrime statutes with a proven record of securing relief through SLPs in serious cases. His methodical preparation, clear communication, and strategic use of Supreme Court precedent increase the likelihood of a favourable outcome, whether through acquittal, sentence mitigation, or a directive for a fresh trial. With Adithya on your side, you face the legal challenge with a focused, confident defence strategy.
