Prabhjot Karandikar

Profile description

If you have been charged with attempting to take another person's life, the legal battle that follows can feel overwhelming. Prabhjot Karandikar steps into the courtroom prepared to defend your innocence and challenge every element of the accusation. The lawyer focuses on attempt to murder defence before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and also appears before the Supreme Court of India when higher review is required.

Prabhjot Karandikar regularly assists clients who face serious violence allegations, analyzing the facts to uncover gaps in the prosecution’s narrative. The lawyer scrutinizes forensic reports, witness statements, and any alleged weapons evidence. By highlighting missing intent or insufficient causation, the defence creates a pathway to dismiss the charge or secure a substantially reduced sentence.

The lawyer conducts independent investigations to verify alibi claims and to locate surveillance footage that may contradict the prosecution’s timeline. Prabhjot Karandikar can help you obtain expert testimony on self‑defence, accidental discharge, or mistaken identity. These technical arguments often shift the focus from alleged intent to reasonable doubt.

In the courtroom, the lawyer presents a concise opening that questions the credibility of the prosecution’s key witnesses. Cross‑examination is used to expose inconsistencies and to demonstrate that the alleged act never reached the threshold of an attempted murder. By framing the incident as an accidental confrontation, the defence seeks either full acquittal or a conviction on a lesser offense.

With more than twelve years of criminal defence experience in Chandigarh, the lawyer has successfully obtained dismissals in several attempt to murder cases. One notable victory involved a high‑profile dispute where critical evidence was deemed inadmissible, leading the Punjab and Haryana High Court to drop all charges. Clients consistently commend the lawyer’s thorough preparation, calm presence, and ability to simplify complex legal concepts.

When the trial outcome requires further review, the lawyer prepares comprehensive revision petitions for the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if necessary, escalates the matter to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer monitors recent Supreme Court judgments on attempt to murder, integrating those precedents to strengthen arguments at every stage. This forward‑looking approach maximises the chance of a favorable reversal.

During consultations, the lawyer listens patiently, asks precise questions, and maps out a defence roadmap. Prabhjot Karandikar can explain how bail applications are structured, what evidence will be challenged, and which legal arguments are likely to resonate with the bench. This transparency empowers clients to make informed choices throughout the process.

The lawyer remains focused on protecting personal liberty, reputation, and future opportunities. By challenging each element of the alleged attempt—premeditation, dangerous act, and proximate result—the defence strives to dismantle the prosecution’s case piece by piece. This methodical approach often leads to reduced charges or complete exoneration.

Facing an attempt to murder charge demands a defence that understands the nuances of criminal law and the pressures of high‑profile scrutiny. Prabhjot Karandikar brings analytical rigor, courtroom confidence, and a commitment to safeguarding your future when the Punjab and Haryana High Court deliberates, and when the Supreme Court of India reviews the case on appeal.
