With a career spanning fifteen years in criminal and procedural law, Poornima has built a reputation for reversing orders that cripple personal liberty and reputation.

Poornima Sabharwal regularly assists individuals who contend that a proclamation was issued without sufficient evidence or in violation of due‑process guarantees. The lawyer conducts a meticulous review of the investigative files, the notice of proclamation, and any supporting affidavits. By identifying procedural missteps – such as lack of proper service, failure to disclose material evidence, or denial of an opportunity to be heard – Poornima constructs a compelling argument for the High Court to set aside the order.

The lawyer’s approach blends rigorous legal analysis with a compassionate client focus. Poornima holds detailed consultations to explain the impact of a proclaimed offender status and outlines the steps required to file a petition for quashing.

This strategic framing aligns with the High Court’s practice of protecting fundamental rights against arbitrary state action.

In practice, Poornima has secured numerous successes. Recent cases include the reversal of a proclamation that threatened a small business owner’s assets, the removal of a proclaimed offender label from a student accused of a non‑violent protest, and the restoration of voting rights for a citizen whose order had been issued without proper notice. Each victory not only reinstated the client’s freedoms but also set valuable precedent for future challenges.
