Profile description

A quashing order that wipes out a criminal or civil judgment can leave you uncertain about your rights, assets, or personal freedom. Harleen Dhanasekaran provides targeted expertise in challenging such orders through Special Leave Petitions, as well as in quashing fraud, cheating, and cognizance orders in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Harleen Dhanasekaran has more than fifteen years of experience fighting against unjust quashing orders that threaten to undo established verdicts. The lawyer regularly assists clients who have received a High Court order that nullifies a criminal conviction for fraud or a civil decree protecting property. By filing a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court, the lawyer pinpoints procedural flaws, evidentiary gaps, and legal misinterpretations that led the High Court to quash the original order. The objective is to have the Supreme Court set aside the quashing order and restore the prior judgment.

In addition to overturning quashing orders, Harleen Dhanasekaran focuses on cases where the very act of quashing is disputed. The lawyer handles petitions to quash fraud and cheating cases that were improperly initiated, as well as applications to nullify cognizance orders that were issued without sufficient basis. By presenting detailed factual investigations and leveraging precedents from both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court, the lawyer seeks to dismantle unjust proceedings and protect clients from wrongful prosecutions.

Harleen Dhanasekaran earned a law degree from the University of Delhi and a Master of Laws specializing in criminal appellate practice. Early career experience includes serving as a legal researcher for the Supreme Court’s Criminal Law Committee, followed by senior associate work in a Chandigarh firm renowned for handling high‑profile fraud and quashing matters. The lawyer’s portfolio includes restoring the conviction of a major financial fraud case, securing the reversal of a High Court quashing order that threatened a family property settlement, and obtaining dismissal of baseless cognizance orders that targeted business owners.

If you are confronting a quashing order, a fraud or cheating charge, or a cognizance order that appears unfounded, Harleen Dhanasekaran can assess the strengths of your case, outline the appropriate filing strategy, and advocate for relief in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
