If you have just been arrested and the police have filed an FIR that could keep you behind bars for months, the first question on your mind is likely how to secure your freedom while the case proceeds. Divleen Khanna, a seasoned criminal advocate in Chandigarh, understands that swift, strategic action can make the difference between prolonged detention and timely release. Whether you are seeking a default bail after a night in custody, contesting a bail cancellation, or needing an interim bail to attend to urgent personal matters, Divleen Khanna can guide you through each step with clarity and resolve.

Divleen Khanna regularly assists clients at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where most bail applications are examined. The advocate’s approach begins with a detailed review of the charge sheet and the circumstances of arrest. By pinpointing procedural gaps or excessive bail conditions, Divleen Khanna can file strong arguments for default bail, ensuring that a reasonable amount of money does not become an insurmountable barrier to liberty. When the prosecution moves to cancel bail, the advocate swiftly prepares a comprehensive counter‑submission, highlighting the client’s cooperation, lack of flight risk, and the need for a fair trial. For cases that demand an interim bail—perhaps to attend a medical procedure or handle family emergencies—Divleen Khanna drafts precise petitions that balance the court’s concerns with the client’s pressing needs.

Beyond bail matters, Divleen Khanna has a proven track record defending clients accused of criminal breach of trust, fraud, and cheating.

By presenting clear, evidence‑based defenses, Divleen Khanna helps courts recognize reasonable doubt and protect clients from wrongful conviction.

In today’s digital age, cybercrime allegations can arise unexpectedly, from alleged hacking to online fraud. Divleen Khanna’s experience in cybercrime defence includes handling cases that involve data breaches, unauthorized access, and misuse of electronic communication. The advocate stays current with the latest provisions of the Information Technology Act and related case law, allowing for precise challenges to digital evidence, chain‑of‑custody issues, and jurisdictional questions. Clients receive a thorough briefing on how the investigation was conducted and what technical defenses are available, ensuring that no digital assumption goes untested.

When an FIR appears to be baseless or malicious, Divleen Khanna can move for its quashing at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The advocate prepares meticulous petitions that demonstrate the absence of prima facie evidence, lack of jurisdiction, or violation of statutory safeguards. By securing a quash order, the process stops before it escalates into a full trial, saving clients time, expense, and reputational harm.

In rare but critical situations where personal liberty itself is at stake, Divleen Khanna files habeas corpus petitions before the High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.
