Mandar Shrivastava

Profile description

Facing a criminal charge for fraud or cheating can jeopardise your reputation, career and freedom.

Mandar Shrivastava is a diligent lawyer who specializes in criminal appeals and defence against fraud and cheating allegations in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s thorough understanding of criminal procedure and commercial crime law provides a solid foundation for challenging adverse judgments and protecting client interests.

When a trial court delivers a conviction for fraud, the first line of defence is an appeal. Mandar regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive criminal appeals that dissect the trial record, highlight evidentiary gaps, and point out misapplications of law. By citing relevant precedents from both the high court and the Supreme Court, the lawyer can persuade the appellate bench to reconsider the conviction, reduce the sentence, or set aside the judgment entirely. In several recent appeals, Mandar secured reversals where the lower court had accepted forged documents as proof without proper authentication.

Defence against cheating charges often hinges on establishing the intent of the accused and the legitimacy of the transactions in question. The lawyer conducts a meticulous review of financial records, contracts, and communication trails to uncover any discrepancies that undermine the prosecution’s narrative. Expert witnesses in accounting and digital forensics are frequently engaged to clarify complex commercial dealings. This strategy has resulted in acquittals and negotiated settlements that protect the client’s assets and reputation.

The appellate process may also involve filing special leave petitions when the high court’s decision does not provide adequate relief. Mandar is skilled at drafting petitions that frame the legal issue in a way that captures the Supreme Court’s attention, especially when constitutional questions or significant misinterpretations of the Criminal Procedure Code are involved. The lawyer’s precise articulation of why the case merits the apex court’s review has led to several SLPs being granted, allowing a full hearing of matters that could set important precedents.

Mandar’s academic background includes a master’s degree in law from a prestigious university and a certification in white‑collar crime investigation. Over twelve years of practice in leading chambers have given the lawyer extensive exposure to high‑value fraud cases and intricate appellate work. The approach is client‑focused: an early consultation gathers every piece of evidence, a tailored defence plan is drafted, and regular briefings keep the client informed of each stage, whether at the high court or the Supreme Court.

Clients appreciate Mandar’s clear communication, strategic thinking and calm presence during stressful proceedings. The lawyer stays updated on every new high‑court and Supreme‑court judgment related to fraud, cheating and criminal appeals, ensuring that each filing reflects the latest legal developments. Whether you need an appeal against a conviction, a robust defence to fraud or cheating allegations, or a special leave petition to the Supreme Court, Mandar Shrivastava can navigate the procedural complexities of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, protect your rights and strive for the most favourable outcome.
