Tanushree Chouhan

Profile description

A criminal complaint, a cognizance order, or even a proceeding against a company director can bring an unexpected halt to business operations and personal freedom. Tanushree Chouhan is a Chandigarh‑based advocate who specialises in quashing these kinds of criminal actions. With a Master of Laws from the University of Delhi and more than fifteen years of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, Tanushree Chouhan has developed a reputation for turning adverse criminal filings into decisive dismissals.

The first step in tackling a criminal complaint is a thorough fact‑finding exercise. Tanushree Chouhan regularly assists clients in collecting transaction records, correspondence, and expert opinions that challenge the basis of the complaint. By highlighting procedural lapses, lack of jurisdiction, or insufficient evidence, the advocate prepares a robust petition that asks the High Court to quash the complaint outright. The focus is on demonstrating that the allegations lack a legal foundation and that continuing the case would cause undue hardship.

When a cognizance order has already been issued, the stakes rise because the court has formally taken notice of the alleged offence. Tanushree Chouhan is experienced in filing applications for quashing such orders, emphasizing statutory safeguards, and arguing that the order was issued without a proper preliminary inquiry. The advocate has successfully persuaded the Punjab and Haryana High Court to set aside cognizance orders that were based on vague or ambiguous facts, thereby preventing the case from moving forward.

Company directors face a unique set of challenges when criminal proceedings are launched against them. Tanushree Chouhan can help directors understand how to protect both their personal liberty and the business’s continuity. By filing quash petitions that focus on the lack of direct involvement, the advocate seeks to demonstrate that the alleged conduct falls outside the scope of personal culpability. Successful outcomes have included high‑court orders that dismiss charges at the earliest stage, sparing directors from protracted litigation.

If the High Court rejects an initial application, Tanushree Chouhan is prepared to elevate the matter to the Supreme Court of India through a Special Leave Petition. The advocate’s extensive experience before the apex court includes arguments that the High Court misapplied legal principles or overlooked decisive evidence. By referencing Supreme Court precedents on procedural fairness, the advocate can achieve relief that overturns unfavorable rulings.

Clients consistently praise Tanushree Chouhan for clear communication, strategic planning, and a calm demeanor during stressful periods. Initial consultations focus on the client’s most pressing concerns, outline the likely timeline, and set realistic expectations. Throughout the case, the advocate provides frequent updates and explains each procedural development in plain language.

Beyond courtroom work, Tanushree Chouhan publishes insightful commentary on criminal procedure and corporate liability, keeping the advocate at the forefront of legal developments. This scholarly engagement informs a pragmatic approach that blends theory with practice.

When a criminal complaint, cognizance order, or director‑specific proceeding threatens your livelihood, Tanushree Chouhan can help you examine the merits of a quash petition, prepare compelling submissions, and navigate the procedural landscape of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if needed, the Supreme Court of India. The advocate’s depth of experience and commitment to protecting client rights aim to secure a swift and favorable resolution.
