Rithvik Arunachalam

Profile description

A compromise decree can sometimes be the source of new criminal allegations, leaving you uncertain about the future of the case. Rithvik Arunachalam is a Chandigarh advocate who focuses on quashing orders that arise from compromises and on dismissing criminal breach of trust cases in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Rithvik Arunachalam regularly assists clients who have entered into a compromise with the opposite party but later face criminal proceedings based on that settlement. The lawyer reviews the compromise deed, the charge sheet and the underlying facts to spot contradictions. By demonstrating that the compromise was reached voluntarily and that the criminal allegations are inconsistent with the agreement, Rithvik Arunachalam files a petition to quash the proceeding.

Criminal breach of trust cases often involve allegations that a party misappropriated assets or violated fiduciary duties. The advocate examines the nature of the trust, the flow of funds and any written agreements. In many instances, Rithvik Arunachalam identifies missing elements in the prosecution’s case, such as lack of direct evidence or procedural irregularities, and uses those gaps to seek dismissal.

The lawyer’s method starts with a comprehensive fact‑finding session. All documents, including trust deeds, bank statements and correspondence, are collected. Rithvik Arunachalam then prepares a succinct petition that references relevant High Court judgments on compromise‑related criminal matters and breach of trust precedents. The advocate files the petition, attends hearings and makes oral arguments that focus on the legal impossibility of proceeding after a valid compromise.

Clients appreciate the straightforward style and transparent updates. In a recent compromise‑related case, the petition led the Punjab and Haryana High Court to set aside the criminal proceeding, allowing the parties to continue with their settlement without fear of future prosecution. In another breach of trust matter, the advocate secured a dismissal after proving that the alleged misappropriation was based on a misunderstanding rather than intentional wrongdoing.

Choosing an advocate who understands both the nuances of compromise law and the intricacies of breach of trust defenses is essential. Rithvik Arunachalam brings extensive experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, a record of successful quash petitions and a practical approach that keeps clients informed at every stage. The lawyer’s commitment to protecting clients from unnecessary criminal liability makes the prospect of a compromised case far less daunting.
