Arjan Saikia

Profile description

If a First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged against you and you believe the allegation is unfounded, the quickest way to protect your liberty is to seek an FIR quashing. Arjan Saikia is an adept advocate who regularly assists clients in filing petitions to have erroneous FIRs dismissed and also handles Protection of Life and Liberty writ petitions in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India. With more than sixteen years of experience in criminal procedural law, Arjan has developed a nuanced understanding of how to challenge the foundations of a criminal complaint before it escalates.

Arjan Saikia earned a law degree from the University of Punjab and later completed a specialized course on Constitutional Law. An early apprenticeship at a reputed criminal law firm exposed the advocate to numerous FIR quashing matters, where procedural defects, lack of prima facie evidence, or malicious intent were identified. Over the years, Arjan has built a reputation for swift, decisive action that can halt investigations before they burden a client with unnecessary legal entanglement.

When a client approaches Arjan with a problematic FIR, the first step is a detailed examination of the complaint, police notes, and any supporting documents. Arjan can explain how an FIR can be quashed if it is vague, lacks factual basis, or is filed with mala‑fide intentions. By preparing a well‑structured petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Arjan presents arguments that demonstrate the absence of sufficient material to proceed, thereby persuading the High Court to dismiss the FIR outright.

In addition to FIR quashing, Arjan specializes in Protection of Life and Liberty writ petitions. When a client’s fundamental rights are threatened—whether through unlawful detention, excessive police action, or a violation of due process—Arjan can file a writ of habeas corpus or other appropriate remedies before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court. The advocate’s thorough knowledge of constitutional safeguards enables the filing of compelling petitions that often result in immediate release or corrective orders.

Arjan Saikia’s track record includes several high‑profile cases where FIRs were quashed at the High Court stage, preventing protracted legal battles and preserving the client’s reputation. In one landmark instance, a writ petition before the Supreme Court secured an injunction against a police department that had repeatedly targeted a specific individual without credible evidence. Such outcomes illustrate Arjan’s capacity to protect life, liberty, and personal dignity.

Clients value Arjan’s clear communication, prompt updates, and realistic assessment of how quickly an FIR can be dismissed. The advocate’s approach combines rigorous legal research, strategic filing, and an assertive courtroom presence. If you are confronting an unjust FIR or a violation of your fundamental rights, Arjan Saikia provides the expertise and proactive defence needed to safeguard your freedom in both the High Court and the Supreme Court.
