Tejas Kohli

Profile description

Imagine the shock of receiving a police notice that a criminal complaint has been lodged against you, threatening to disrupt your career and personal life. When the allegation rests on a misunderstanding or insufficient evidence, every day that the case remains open deepens the risk of arrest, asset freeze, and reputational harm. Tejas Kohli specialises in quashing such criminal complaints before they advance, operating primarily before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Kohli has built a focused practice on criminal complaint quashing after handling a wide array of cases involving property disputes, cyber‑related allegations, and false accusations arising from personal conflicts. By reviewing FIRs, scrutinising police reports, and identifying procedural lapses, the lawyer can craft petitions that argue the complaint lacks jurisdiction, is malafide, or is unsupported by credible evidence. The High Court is receptive to such well‑grounded submissions, often granting interim relief that stays investigations while the petition proceeds.

The lawyer’s approach blends rigorous legal research with proactive client collaboration. Kohli regularly assists clients in gathering documentary proof, such as transaction records, digital communication logs, and witness statements that undermine the prosecution’s narrative. Simultaneously, the advocate files applications under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, seeking the quash of the complaint on grounds of abuse of process. By combining factual refutation with procedural expertise, the lawyer creates a persuasive case that the court can dismiss swiftly.

Recent successes illustrate the effectiveness of this strategy. In one notable matter, Kohli secured a full quash of a complaint alleging fraud in a real‑estate transaction. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, persuaded by the lack of corroborating evidence and the petitioner’s failure to disclose material facts, ordered the immediate dismissal of the FIR and directed the police to close the file. The client avoided arrest, retained control over the disputed property, and restored confidence among investors and partners.

Clients repeatedly commend Kohli for clear communication, prompt filing of petitions, and strategic foresight that keep them informed at every stage. By advising on damage‑control measures, managing public relations, and liaising with financial institutions, the lawyer ensures that the client’s personal and professional life returns to normal before the stigma of the complaint can take root. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s transparency, prompt updates, and strategic foresight that keep them informed at every stage.

Kohli’s academic credentials include a law degree from a prestigious university and a postgraduate diploma in Criminal Law. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has appeared regularly before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, earning a reputation for meticulous case preparation and persuasive oral arguments. Continuous participation in seminars on criminal jurisprudence ensures that Kohli stays abreast of recent judgments that shape complaint‑quashing jurisprudence. If a criminal complaint threatens your freedom or business, a confidential consultation with Kohli can outline the precise steps needed to file a quash petition, secure interim relief, and ultimately clear your name.
