Aaqib Murmu

Profile description

Facing a criminal charge can be overwhelming, especially when the prosecution’s case rests on a weak charge sheet or a proclamation that labels you as an offender without solid proof. Aaqib Murmu, a seasoned advocate based in Chandigarh, specialises in quashing charge sheets, proclamations and orders against proclaimed offenders, as well as securing quash orders on compromise settlements. The lawyer appears before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when needed, before the Supreme Court of India to safeguard client rights.

When a charge sheet is filed, the first step is to evaluate whether the allegations are supported by credible evidence. Aaqib Murmu examines the investigative reports, looks for procedural lapses, and identifies any illegal collection of statements. By filing a petition to quash the charge sheet under Article 226, the advocate argues that the prosecution lacks a reasonable basis to proceed. Successful quashing prevents the client from enduring a full trial, saves considerable legal expenses, and protects personal reputation.

Proclamations and orders declaring a person a proclaimed offender carry severe consequences, such as property attachment and travel restrictions. The lawyer investigates whether due process was followed, whether the notice was properly served, and whether the underlying case meets statutory standards. If any defect is uncovered, Aaqib Murmu files a petition to quash the proclamation, seeking immediate relief from the High Court or the Supreme Court of India. This approach has resulted in many clients having their proclaimed‑offender status lifted, allowing them to resume normal life without the stigma of a pending criminal label.

Compromise agreements reached during negotiations can occasionally be attacked by the opposing party. Aaqib Murmu assists clients in preserving the sanctity of such settlements by filing a quash petition on compromise. The advocate demonstrates that the agreement was voluntarily executed, that all conditions were satisfied, and that reopening the case would violate the principle of res judicata. The lawyer’s familiarity with precedent from both the High Court and the Supreme Court strengthens the argument for finality.

The lawyer’s method is client‑centric. Aaqib Murmu provides clear explanations of the legal process, outlines realistic timelines, and keeps clients updated at each stage. The advocate’s track record includes landmark decisions where charge sheets were dismissed, proclamations annulled, and compromised settlements protected, underscoring a reputation for effective, results‑driven advocacy.

If you are confronting a charge sheet that seems baseless, a proclamation that restricts your freedoms, or a settlement that is being challenged, Aaqib Murmu can assess the merits of a quash petition, prepare compelling pleadings, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s commitment is to achieve a clean break from unfounded criminal proceedings, enabling you to move forward with confidence.
