Kinjal Awasthi

Profile description

When law enforcement alleges that you participated in a criminal conspiracy or stand accused of murder or attempted murder, the legal battle can be overwhelming. Kinjal Awasthi is a diligent advocate who regularly assists clients charged with Criminal Conspiracy, as well as Murder and Attempt to Murder offences, before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when the case escalates, before the Supreme Court of India. With more than fourteen years of criminal defence experience, Kinjal has honed a strategic approach that combines rigorous legal analysis with persuasive courtroom advocacy.

Kinjal Awasthi completed a law degree at the University of Delhi and a Master of Laws specializing in Criminal Law from the National Law School. An early stint as a research assistant for a senior criminal lawyer gave exposure to high‑profile conspiracy cases and complex evidentiary challenges. Over the years, Kinjal has built a reputation for dissecting intricate charge sheets, exposing procedural lapses, and crafting defence strategies that protect clients’ liberty.

If you are facing a conspiracy charge, Kinjal begins by reviewing the FIR, police notes, and any intercepted communications used by the prosecution. The advocate can explain how the legal definition of conspiracy requires a proven agreement to commit a crime, and can identify gaps where the prosecution lacks concrete proof. By filing appropriate applications for evidence scrutiny, witness protection, and procedural compliance, Kinjal works to dismantle the prosecution’s case before it reaches trial.

In murder or attempt to murder matters, Kinjal emphasizes the importance of intent, self‑defence, and the reliability of forensic evidence. The advocate can help you understand how the lack of a clear motive or the presence of mitigating circumstances can influence the court’s assessment. Successful outcomes include full acquittals, reduction of charges, or negotiated settlements that reflect the true nature of the incident. In a recent case before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Kinjal secured a verdict of not guilty after demonstrating that the alleged weapon was never linked to the accused and that several eyewitnesses recanted their statements.

When an appeal to the Supreme Court becomes necessary, Kinjal prepares concise Special Leave Petitions that focus on legal errors, violation of constitutional rights, and misapplication of law by lower courts. The advocate’s familiarity with Supreme Court precedents on criminal conspiracy and homicide ensures that the petition aligns with the highest jurisprudential standards.

Clients appreciate Kinjal’s transparent communication, regular case updates, and realistic advice on possible outcomes. The advocate’s commitment to thorough preparation, strategic negotiation, and vigorous courtroom representation provides a robust defence for those facing the gravest criminal accusations. If you need a skilled lawyer to protect your rights against conspiracy, murder, or attempted murder charges, Kinjal Awasthi offers the expertise and determination to navigate the complexities of both the High Court and the Supreme Court.
