Mithun Kulkarni

Profile description

If you have been served with a criminal case that appears to lack solid evidence, you may wonder whether the charge can be set aside before a trial begins. Mithun Kulkarni, a seasoned advocate practicing in Chandigarh, specialises in quashing criminal proceedings and cheque‑dishonour complaints. The lawyer draws on extensive experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when the matter demands a higher forum, appears before the Supreme Court of India to protect clients’ rights.

Mithun Kulkarni regularly assists clients who believe a criminal case was filed on flimsy grounds or based on procedural irregularities. The lawyer reviews the charge sheet, investigates the factual matrix, and identifies gaps that can form the basis for a petition to quash. By filing a well‑crafted writ under Article 226 of the Constitution, the lawyer can argue that the prosecution lacks prima facie evidence, that the investigation was tainted, or that the allegations are manifestly false. Successful quashing saves clients from the trauma of a full trial, the stigma of an arrest, and the financial burden of prolonged defence.

When a bank or a creditor files a complaint alleging cheque dishonour, many people face harsh penalties and the risk of attachment of assets. Mithun Kulkarni can help by scrutinising the notice, checking whether the cheque was presented within the statutory period, and verifying the correctness of the bank’s procedures. If any defect is discovered, the lawyer files a petition to quash the complaint, often resulting in dismissal of the case or reduction of the claimed amount. The advocate’s familiarity with banking jurisprudence and precedent from both the High Court and the Supreme Court enables swift resolution.

The lawyer’s approach combines thorough fact‑finding with strong written and oral advocacy. Clients are kept informed at every stage, with clear explanations of possible outcomes and realistic timelines. Mithun Kulkarni also advises on collateral matters such as protecting personal assets, preserving employment, and managing the emotional stress that legal battles create. The advocate’s track record includes several landmark decisions where criminal charges were dismissed and cheque‑dishonour complaints were set aside, reinforcing a reputation for decisive results.

If you are confronting a criminal charge that feels unjust or a cheque‑dishonour notice that could jeopardise your finances, Mithun Kulkarni can assess the merits of a quash petition, prepare the necessary documentation, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s commitment is to achieve a clean slate for clients, allowing them to move forward without the cloud of pending litigation.
