Jaimin Rather

Profile description

A director of a company suddenly finds criminal proceedings opened against the business, jeopardizing personal liberty and corporate reputation. The first question is whether the charges can be struck down before the courts. Jaimin Rather, a Chandigarh‑based advocate, focuses on quashing criminal proceedings against company directors and has built a reputation for defending senior executives in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Jaimin Rather boasts more than twelve years of experience handling complex corporate criminal matters. After earning a law degree from the University of Delhi, the lawyer served as a legal officer for a multinational corporation, gaining firsthand knowledge of corporate governance, compliance, and the pitfalls that lead to criminal allegations. This background informs the lawyer’s ability to anticipate prosecutorial tactics and craft robust defenses.

The lawyer’s approach begins with a thorough audit of the prosecution’s case file. Jaimin Rather can identify procedural irregularities, jurisdictional overreach, or evidentiary deficiencies that form the foundation for a quash petition. The advocate routinely assists directors in filing applications that invoke statutory safeguards, such as the right to a fair investigation and the principle that corporate liability must not be imposed without clear statutory basis.

In many instances, early intervention prevents the escalation of criminal charges. Jaimin Rather regularly helps clients obtain interim relief, arguing that the pending proceedings cause irreparable harm to the company’s operations and the director’s personal standing. When the matter proceeds to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer presents detailed submissions that reference leading judgments on corporate criminal liability, demonstrating why the charges should not survive judicial scrutiny.

If the High Court does not grant relief, the advocate is prepared to advance the case to the Supreme Court of India. There, Jaimin Rather drafts special leave petitions that emphasize constitutional principles, including protection against arbitrary detention and the need for proportionality in criminal prosecution of corporate officers. Recent successes include a Supreme Court order that dismissed a criminal case against a director after the court found that the investigating agency had ignored mandatory approvals required under the Companies Act.

Clients value the lawyer’s clear communication and strategic foresight. Jaimin Rather explains each procedural step, outlines potential outcomes, and maintains transparency throughout the litigation journey. The advocate’s commitment to preserving both personal liberty and corporate integrity has earned strong referrals from business leaders across sectors.
