Mamta Sankhla

Profile description

You may have discovered that a cybercrime case has been opened against you, or that a court has issued a cognizance order based on a digital investigation. Both scenarios often lead to severe reputational damage and the risk of an unwarranted prosecution. Mamta Sankhla can help you navigate these challenges and seek the quashing of such orders in the Punjab and Haryana High Court as well as in the Supreme Court of India.

Mamta’s practice revolves around quashing cybercrime proceedings and cognizance orders. The lawyer has spent years studying the evolving landscape of cyber law, including the Information Technology Act, data‑privacy regulations, and procedural safeguards that protect individuals from over‑reach. When a cyber‑related charge appears without sufficient technical evidence, Mamta files writ petitions and special applications that expose procedural flaws, lack of jurisdiction, or violations of the right to a fair trial. The lawyer’s ability to dissect digital forensics reports and present clear, lay‑person explanations to the bench makes a decisive difference in persuading judges to dismiss baseless proceedings.

In cases where a cognizance order has been issued—meaning the court has taken notice of an alleged offence—Mamta regularly assists clients by challenging the order’s validity. The lawyer focuses on proving that the investigating agency has either exceeded its mandate or failed to follow due process, such as improper service of notice or inadequate disclosure of electronic evidence. By filing a petition for quashing, Mamta seeks to halt the entire proceeding before it progresses to trial, saving clients from costly litigation and unwarranted stress.

A typical engagement begins with a detailed review of the FIR, the cyber‑crime investigation report, and any digital evidence collected. Mamta then prepares a comprehensive petition that highlights technical inconsistencies, jurisdictional errors, and any breach of statutory safeguards. The lawyer has a proven track record of obtaining favorable orders that stay or dismiss proceedings, especially in cases involving alleged phishing, social‑media defamation, and unauthorized data access. Clients often report that the early intervention prevented the escalation of the matter to a full trial.

Beyond courtroom advocacy, Mamta offers strategic counsel on protecting digital footprints and mitigating future legal exposure. The lawyer advises on best practices for data storage, encryption, and compliance with emerging cyber regulations. This preventive advice is especially valuable for businesses and professionals who rely heavily on online platforms. By integrating preventive measures with aggressive litigation tactics, Mamta ensures that clients are not only relieved of current legal pressure but also fortified against future cyber‑law challenges.

Academically, Mamta completed a law degree with honors from a premier Indian university, followed by a Master’s in Cyber Law and Information Security. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has appeared before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, achieving quashing orders in high‑profile cases involving multinational corporations, technology startups, and individual defendants. Peer reviews consistently highlight Mamta’s analytical precision, ability to simplify complex technical issues, and unwavering dedication to client interests.

If you face a cyber‑crime charge or a cognizance order that seems premature, seeking a lawyer with deep expertise in quashing such matters can dramatically shift the outcome. Mamta Sankhla brings together legal acumen, technical insight, and a results‑driven approach, offering a realistic pathway to protect your rights, reputation, and freedom.
