Anurag Shetty

Profile description

A criminal case has been filed against a spouse, creating turmoil that threatens both personal safety and family stability. Anurag Shetty provides a focused pathway to relief. As an advocate practising in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and before the Supreme Court of India, Anurag Shetty specialises in the quashing of matrimonial criminal cases.

Anurag Shetty regularly assists clients who believe that the criminal filing arises from marital discord, false accusations, or procedural improprieties. The lawyer conducts a thorough review of the FIR, the evidence collection, and the jurisdictional authority of the investigating officer. By identifying gaps in the prosecution’s case—such as lack of concrete proof, absence of a genuine complaint, or violation of the accused’s rights—the advocate prepares a robust petition for quashing the criminal case.

The quashing petition is filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where the lawyer argues that the criminal proceeding is an abuse of process. Anurag Shetty often leverages Supreme Court precedents that protect individuals from vexatious litigation in matrimonial contexts. When the High Court grants a stay, the client can avoid arrest, detention, and the social stigma attached to criminal charges. In several notable instances, the advocate has secured a complete dismissal, allowing the couple to focus on reconciliation or an amicable separation without the shadow of a criminal record.

Educational credentials include a distinguished law degree from a premier Indian institution and a postgraduate specialization in family and criminal law. Over a decade of courtroom experience has refined the ability to craft persuasive arguments, manage complex evidentiary issues, and negotiate with prosecutors to achieve a favourable outcome. Clients commend Anurag Shetty for clear communication, empathy during a highly emotional period, and a strategic approach that keeps the family’s best interests at the forefront.

If a matrimonial dispute has escalated into a criminal case, Anurag Shetty can explain the legal options, prepare the necessary documentation, and argue before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to obtain a quashing order. The advocate’s proven success in securing dismissals and protecting clients from unwarranted criminal prosecution offers reassurance that the legal system can be used to restore peace and protect personal rights.
