Amanpreet Murmu

Profile description

Imagine being accused of conspiring to commit a crime, where the prosecution strings together separate acts into a single, complex charge. Amanpreet Murmu steps in as a seasoned criminal lawyer who untangles those connections and safeguards your freedom from the outset.

Amanpreet earned a LL.M. from the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research, Hyderabad, and has devoted fourteen years to defending intricate criminal matters in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer has a reputation for meticulous case preparation, rigorous examination of evidence, and persuasive oral advocacy. Over the years, the advocate has successfully defended clients in cases involving organized crime, financial scheming, and alleged conspiracies that span multiple jurisdictions. Clients commend the lawyer for clear explanations, steady composure during stressful hearings, and an unwavering commitment to protecting their legal rights.

When a conspiracy charge is filed, prosecutors rely on inferred intent and the alleged coordination among accused persons. Amanpreet can help by dissecting each alleged act and demonstrating the absence of a common unlawful plan. The lawyer reviews communications, financial trails, and witness testimonies to separate coincidental interactions from genuine conspiratorial conduct. By filing detailed pre‑trial applications, the advocate seeks to exclude evidence obtained without proper authorization and to suppress statements made under duress. In trial, the lawyer presents an alternative narrative that attributes each act to independent decisions, thereby breaking the prosecution’s theory of a unified criminal enterprise. This strategy frequently results in charge reduction or full acquittal.

Being held without a valid legal order can cause severe distress and undermine confidence in the justice system. Amanpreet regularly assists clients in filing habeas corpus petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, questioning the legality of the arrest or continued detention. The lawyer drafts a concise factual affidavit, attaches relevant medical reports and bail applications, and argues that the detention breaches constitutional safeguards. If the high court upholds the petition, the advocate can promptly move the matter to the Supreme Court of India for an expedited hearing, ensuring that unlawful confinement is terminated without delay.

After a conviction, the immediate enforcement of a sentence can be devastating, especially when the appeal raises substantial questions of law. Amanpreet can help by filing a petition for suspension of sentence pending appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and if necessary, before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer argues that the sentence should be stayed to prevent irreparable harm while the higher court reviews the merits of the case. By presenting strong grounds—such as procedural irregularities, misinterpretation of statutes, or new evidential developments—the advocate increases the likelihood that the higher court will grant a stay, preserving the client’s liberty and reputation during the appellate process.

Through rigorous analysis, strategic filing, and effective courtroom advocacy, Amanpreet Murmu strives to protect your rights and achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
