Lokesh Venkatesan

Profile description

A proclamation has been issued against you and assets have been attached, leaving you unable to conduct daily business. Lokesh Venkatesan can intervene to halt that process. As an advocate who regularly assists clients in Chandigarh, Lokesh has focused his practice on quashing orders that jeopardise personal liberty and property rights.

Quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders is a specialised area that demands a precise reading of the Criminal Procedure Code and the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. Lokesh draws on more than twelve years of experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to pinpoint procedural lapses, such as lack of proper notice or insufficient evidence. By filing a detailed petition that emphasizes these defects, the advocate has secured multiple judgments where the High Court dismissed the proclamation entirely, restoring the client’s freedom to operate.

Criminal breach of trust cases often involve complex financial transactions and trust relationships that can be misinterpreted. Lokesh can help you contest such allegations by dissecting the trust documents, exposing inconsistencies in the prosecution’s narrative, and presenting robust evidence of lawful conduct. The advocate has a record of achieving quashing orders that clear the client’s name and prevent the costly progression of a trial.

Cognizance orders are the court’s first step in taking up a criminal matter. When a cognizance order is issued without proper basis, Lokesh prepares a swift application for quashal, arguing lack of jurisdiction or failure to meet the statutory criteria. The lawyer’s experience with Supreme Court of India appeals ensures that, should the High Court’s decision be unfavorable, a Special Leave Petition can be filed to seek higher review.

Lokesh’s familiarity with both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India allows for a seamless transition between forums. Whether presenting oral arguments in the High Court’s courtroom or drafting meticulous pleadings for the Supreme Court’s bench, the advocate maintains a consistent focus on protecting client rights.

Clients value Lokesh’s clear communication style. The advocate explains each procedural step, sets realistic expectations, and provides regular updates. By combining legal expertise with a commitment to swift resolution, Lokesh Venkatesan has earned a reputation as a reliable lawyer for anyone needing to quash proclamations, breach of trust charges, or cognizance orders.
