Profile description

Imagine your marriage has ended, but the court has issued a quashing order that dismisses your criminal complaint against your former spouse. The order can leave you feeling vulnerable and without recourse. Dhiraj Thakur specializes in challenging such orders before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. Whether the quashing stems from a compromise agreement or procedural issues, the lawyer works to restore your right to seek protection or compensation. By examining the facts and the legal basis of the original complaint, Dhiraj Thakur builds a strategy to overturn the quashing order and revive your case.

Quashing on compromise occurs when parties agree to settle, and the court dismisses the criminal proceedings. While settlements can be appropriate, they should never strip a victim of statutory rights. Dhiraj Thakur regularly assists clients who later realize the compromise was unfair or coerced. The lawyer reviews the terms of the settlement, assesses whether consent was informed, and determines if the High Court has jurisdiction to set aside the quashing. By filing a proper application, the advocate can argue that public policy demands a thorough examination of the underlying allegations. Successful petitions often result in the High Court reinstating the criminal case for further trial.

Matrimonial disputes frequently involve criminal complaints such as cruelty, harassment, or dowry demands. When a trial court quashes these complaints, victims may lose protection and face continued abuse.

The lawyer gathers evidence, including medical reports, witness statements, and financial records, to demonstrate the seriousness of the allegations. By presenting this dossier to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate can persuade the bench that the quashing was erroneous. In many instances, the High Court has reversed the lower court’s order, allowing the criminal proceeding to continue.
