Manjunath Shrivastava

Profile description

You may have been detained or investigated for a cyber‑related offense, and the proceedings in the Punjab and Haryana High Court appear to be moving forward despite weak evidence. Manjunath Shrivastava is an experienced lawyer who regularly assists clients in Chandigarh with quashing cybercrime proceedings, and the lawyer is equally prepared to take the matter to the Supreme Court of India when necessary.

Cybercrime cases often involve complex technical material, rapidly evolving statutes, and a tendency for authorities to rely on broad interpretations of the law. Manjunath Shrivastava specialises in dissecting the procedural foundations of these cases, identifying jurisdictional gaps, lack of proper forensic verification, and violations of due‑process rights that make a quashing order viable. By filing a well‑structured petition, the lawyer can demonstrate that the High Court should not continue with a trial that rests on insufficient or improperly obtained evidence.

When the issue escalates beyond the High Court, the lawyer has a proven track record of presenting quashing arguments before the Supreme Court of India. Manjunath Shrivastava leverages a deep understanding of landmark Supreme Court judgments on digital evidence, data privacy, and cyber‑offense definitions. This knowledge allows the lawyer to craft compelling constitutional and statutory arguments that persuade the apex court to halt proceedings that jeopardise the client’s liberty and reputation.

The lawyer’s academic foundation includes a law degree from a top national university followed by a specialized diploma in Cyber Law and Information Security. Over the past fifteen years, Manjunath Shrivastava has worked with leading technology firms, governmental cyber‑crime units, and private individuals. This blend of practical exposure and scholarly insight equips the lawyer to translate technical jargon into clear legal arguments, a skill that judges and tribunals highly value.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s proactive approach. Manjunath Shrivastava begins every engagement with a comprehensive review of the charge sheet, forensic reports, and procedural history. The lawyer then outlines the specific legal defects—such as lack of proper jurisdiction, failure to follow the Information Technology Act’s evidentiary standards, or breaches of the right to privacy—that form the basis for a quashing petition. Throughout the process, the lawyer provides concise updates, explains the likely timelines, and advises on any additional evidence that could strengthen the case.

By combining meticulous case analysis with strategic courtroom advocacy, Manjunath Shrivastava aims to secure a swift dismissal of unwarranted cybercrime proceedings. The lawyer’s success stories include cases where high‑profile individuals avoided prolonged incarceration and where companies were able to continue operations without the shadow of a criminal trial. If you are confronting cyber‑related charges in the Punjab and Haryana High Court or fear an escalation to the Supreme Court of India, a consultation with Manjunath Shrivastava can clarify your options and set a focused plan to quash the proceedings.
