Abhinav Brar

Profile description

If you have been handed a criminal conviction and are awaiting the outcome of an appeal, you may be concerned about the impact on your freedom and reputation. Abhinav Brar is a lawyer who handles Criminal Appeals, Suspension of Sentence Pending Appeal, and Protection of Life and Liberty Writ Petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Abhinav Brar earned a law degree from a renowned university in Chandigarh and later completed a diploma in Constitutional Remedies. The lawyer started at a reputable firm where the focus was on high‑stakes criminal matters. Over more than twelve years of practice, the lawyer has appeared before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a wide range of appeal matters, developing a reputation for rigorous preparation and incisive courtroom advocacy.

The lawyer’s practice covers three interrelated areas. First, the lawyer files Criminal Appeals to challenge convictions, sentences, or procedural errors in the trial court. Second, the lawyer can seek Suspension of Sentence Pending Appeal, a relief that stays the execution of a sentence while the appeal is pending, protecting the client’s liberty during the review process. Third, the lawyer drafts Protection of Life and Liberty Writ Petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution, which can be used when a fundamental right to personal liberty is threatened by the conviction or the manner of its enforcement.

When a client approaches the lawyer, the first step is a comprehensive case audit. The lawyer reviews the trial record, identifies any legal or factual infirmities, and evaluates the likelihood of success on appeal. The lawyer then prepares a concise appeal memorandum that highlights the critical errors, cites precedent, and presents a clear narrative for the bench. If immediate relief is needed, the lawyer files a petition for suspension of the sentence, arguing that the client’s continued confinement would cause irreparable harm. In writ matters, the lawyer frames the petition to show that the client’s right to liberty is being infringed, seeking an interim order from the High Court.

Abhinav Brar regularly assists clients who fear that a conviction will devastate their lives. The lawyer can explain the appeal process, outline the steps required for a suspension of sentence, and advise on the strategic use of writ petitions. Recent victories include a murder conviction that was overturned after the lawyer demonstrated that the trial court had ignored key forensic evidence, and a drug‑related case where the High Court stayed the sentence pending a thorough appellate review, preserving the client’s ability to work and support family. The lawyer’s commitment is to protect life and liberty, to pursue every viable legal avenue, and to achieve the most favorable result—whether that means an acquittal, sentence reduction, or a protective writ.
