Profile description

When a criminal case threatens your freedom, the first priority is to stop the process before it escalates. Akila Kohli specializes in quashing FIRs, filing writ petitions for the protection of life and liberty, and handling Supreme Court criminal review petitions across both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Akila Kohli regularly assists clients whose FIRs were lodged on shaky grounds. The lawyer conducts a thorough factual review, identifies jurisdictional flaws, and prepares applications that ask the High Court to dismiss the FIR outright. In many instances, the lawyer’s petitions have led to immediate withdrawal of the FIR, sparing clients from protracted investigations, media scrutiny, and the emotional toll of a criminal proceeding.

When personal liberty is directly at risk, a writ of protection of life and liberty becomes essential. Akila Kohli has extensive experience drafting and arguing such writ petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By demonstrating that the authorities have acted arbitrarily, violated due process, or exceeded their legal powers, the lawyer often secures immediate relief, including release from unlawful detention or protection against harmful orders. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s swift response and ability to turn a nightmarish confinement into a reversible court decision.

For cases that have already progressed beyond the High Court, Akila Kohli handles Supreme Court criminal review petitions. The lawyer focuses on higher‑court scrutiny of legal errors, misapplication of statutes, or procedural lapses that occurred during trial. By presenting concise reviews supported by recent Supreme Court precedents, the lawyer has obtained orders that modify sentences, direct retrials, or even overturn convictions. The lawyer’s familiarity with Supreme Court procedural nuances ensures that every petition complies with strict filing requirements, maximizing the chance of acceptance.

Akila Kohli’s practice rests on meticulous preparation, strategic thinking, and transparent client communication. The lawyer holds advanced qualifications in criminal law and has served as a research associate for judicial reform committees, providing a deep understanding of both High Court and Supreme Court jurisprudence.
