Neha Khanna

Profile description

Imagine receiving a summons that compels you to appear before a court for a criminal matter you believe is baseless, or confronting a breach of trust conviction that threatens your livelihood. Neha Khanna provides a comprehensive approach to quashing criminal proceedings, summoning orders, and breach of trust cases across both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Neha earned a Bachelor of Laws from Panjab University and a Master of Laws in Criminal Justice from the University of Mumbai. For over fourteen years, the lawyer has practiced before both the High Court in Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India, representing clients in complex criminal appeals. The lawyer is a recognized member of the Chandigarh Bar Association’s Criminal Law Forum and has received accolades for securing landmark quashes in high‑profile cases.

The first focus is on criminal proceedings quashing. When a lower court’s judgment rests on procedural irregularities, insufficient evidence, or misinterpretation of law, Neha prepares a robust petition that challenges the conviction. The lawyer conducts an exhaustive review of trial transcripts, identifies errors in the application of criminal statutes, and integrates expert testimony where needed. By presenting a clear narrative that the conviction is unsafe, the lawyer seeks a reversal that restores the client’s freedom and reputation.

Summoning orders—court orders directing a person to appear—can be misused to harass or intimidate. Neha routinely files applications to quash such orders when they lack legal basis, exceed jurisdiction, or violate the client’s right to a fair hearing. The lawyer drafts precise legal arguments citing precedents where courts dismissed frivolous summons, and often secures an interim stay that prevents the client from being compelled to appear until the matter is resolved.

The third specialty involves criminal breach of trust case quashing. In situations where the alleged breach stems from accounting misunderstandings, contractual ambiguities, or fabricated evidence, Neha meticulously dissects the prosecution’s case. The lawyer gathers original documents, forensic accounting reports, and witness statements that contradict the prosecution’s narrative. By filing a petition before the High Court and, when necessary, pursuing a review before the Supreme Court, the lawyer has secured complete quashes that cleared clients of criminal liability.

Notable successes illustrate the lawyer’s effectiveness. In a recent High Court matter, Neha obtained a quash of a summoning order that had been issued on dubious grounds, saving the client from unnecessary detention. In a Supreme Court review, the lawyer achieved reversal of a breach of trust conviction that had resulted in the loss of a family business, leading to the restoration of assets and goodwill. Clients frequently praise the lawyer’s strategic foresight, thorough preparation, and calm demeanor during intense hearings.

Neha follows a client‑centric workflow. The lawyer initiates a free preliminary consultation within 48 hours of contact, offering an honest assessment of the case’s strengths and potential challenges. A written fee agreement is provided, detailing costs tied to the complexity of the petition and anticipated court fees, ensuring transparency. Throughout the litigation, the lawyer delivers regular updates, translates legal jargon into understandable language, and advises on preventive measures to avoid future summons or prosecutions.

Partnering with Neha Khanna means gaining a lawyer who blends deep procedural knowledge, persuasive advocacy, and a commitment to client welfare. Whether the issue is an unjust criminal charge, an overreaching summons, or a wrongful breach of trust conviction, the lawyer’s integrated approach across both the High Court and the Supreme Court aims to secure a swift and decisive quash, protecting your freedom, reputation, and financial stability.
