Shravani Ranganathan

Profile description

Imagine receiving a proclamation order that brands you as a proclaimed offender, restricting your movement and subjecting you to immediate arrest. In such a scenario, you need a lawyer who can swiftly intervene to protect your liberty. Shravani Ranganathan, an advocate based in Chandigarh, focuses on quashing proclamation and proclaimed offender orders, as well as challenging NDPS cases and criminal actions against company directors. Working primarily before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, this lawyer combines meticulous case analysis with aggressive petition drafting to dismantle unjust orders before they impair your personal and professional life.

Shravani Ranganathan regularly assists individuals who have been declared proclaimed offenders under the Criminal Procedure Code. The lawyer conducts a detailed review of the notice, verifying whether the procedural requirements for issuance were met, such as proper service, justification of the offender’s alleged flight risk and compliance with the statutory time limits. By filing a petition that highlights deficiencies and presents evidence of the client’s cooperation with law enforcement, the advocate can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to set aside the proclamation, thereby restoring the client’s freedom and eliminating the threat of immediate detention.

NDPS prosecutions demand rigorous compliance with forensic standards, and any lapse can form the basis for a successful quash petition. Shravani Ranganathan possesses extensive experience in dissecting seizure reports, testing the legality of the search, and scrutinizing laboratory analyses for procedural irregularities. When a client’s case shows that evidence was obtained without a valid warrant or that the narcotics lab failed to follow accredited protocols, the advocate prepares a comprehensive petition for the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Convincing the bench of such procedural violations often results in the dismissal of the entire NDPS proceeding, safeguarding the client from severe imprisonment and asset confiscation.

Corporate directors often face criminal charges that stem from alleged regulatory breaches or mismanagement. Shravani Ranganathan can help directors by examining the underlying FIRs and charge sheets for procedural flaws, such as lack of direct involvement, improper attribution of corporate acts to individuals, or failure to follow corporate governance guidelines. By presenting a petition that separates the director’s personal liability from the company’s actions, the advocate seeks to have the Punjab and Haryana High Court strike out the criminal proceedings. Successful quashing preserves the director’s reputation, enables continued business operations and prevents unjust imprisonment.

With over a decade of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Shravani Ranganathan has earned a reputation for precise drafting and persuasive oral arguments. The lawyer’s track record includes multiple rulings that have set precedents in quashing proclamation orders and NDPS cases, providing a solid legal foundation for new petitions. This deep familiarity with the bench’s expectations enables the advocate to anticipate counter‑arguments and reinforce submissions with targeted case law, increasing the probability of a favorable outcome for each client.
