Hiral Mishra has spent over thirteen years mastering the defence of murder and attempt to murder charges before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. After obtaining a doctorate in Criminal Law from Delhi University, the lawyer served as a junior advocate in the High Court’s criminal wing, where exposure to hundreds of homicide trials sharpened analytical abilities. The lawyer’s track record includes securing acquittals in three murder cases where the prosecution’s forensic DNA evidence was later discredited, and negotiating plea bargains that reduced attempted murder sentences from fifteen years to five years of supervised release. These outcomes stem from meticulous cross‑examination, expert witness coordination, and a relentless focus on the constitutional right to a fair trial.

Beyond trial defence, Hiral Mishra regularly assists clients in filing criminal appeals that challenge convictions or sentence severity. The lawyer has appeared before the Punjab and Haryana High Court appellate benches and before the Supreme Court of India, where landmark judgments have reshaped the interpretation of homicide statutes. By carefully analyzing the trial record for procedural irregularities, such as improper jury instructions or failure to disclose exculpatory material, the lawyer crafts persuasive grounds for appeal. In a recent Supreme Court appeal, the lawyer succeeded in having a murder conviction set aside on the basis that the lower court had ignored a critical alibi witness, resulting in the client’s release after eight years of incarceration.
