Harshith Behera, a Chandigarh advocate, focuses on quashing fraud and cheating cases and on filing Supreme Court review petitions when a lower court decision needs correction. With a solid practice in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and a reputation for persuasive arguments before the Supreme Court of India, Harshith provides a vital lifeline for those seeking to halt wrongful criminal proceedings.

Harshith earned a first‑class law degree and completed a rigorous clerkship with a renowned criminal law firm. Over the past twelve years, they have built a niche in challenging the foundation of fraud allegations at the earliest stage. When a charge sheet is filed, Harshith regularly assists clients in preparing applications for quashing under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. Their strategy examines procedural lapses, lack of substantive evidence, and violations of statutory safeguards. By presenting a clear factual matrix, Harshith can convince the High Court that the prosecution’s case does not meet the threshold for trial.

If a High Court quashes a fraud case but the decision is later questioned, a Supreme Court review petition may be required. Harshith’s experience in drafting and arguing such petitions has produced several landmark outcomes where the Supreme Court has reinstated the quashing or provided further relief.

In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Harshith’s applications often receive prompt consideration, leading to swift dismissals that spare clients from prolonged litigation and the social stigma of criminal charges.
