Profile description

Imagine a young person being accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, or a business partner facing allegations of embezzlement. Darshit Kurup steps into these difficult situations with a clear commitment to defend the rights of the accused before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. From the first consultation, you will sense a methodical focus on protecting your legal interests and preserving your reputation.

Kurup’s practice spans three demanding areas: POCSO defence, criminal breach of trust defence, and habeas corpus applications. He regularly assists clients charged under the stringent provisions of POCSO, scrutinising every piece of evidence, challenging procedural lapses, and presenting strong factual defenses. In breach of trust matters, he can help you contest financial accusations by tracing transaction histories, demonstrating intent, and highlighting lawful conduct. When personal liberty is at stake, Kurup files habeas corpus petitions that compel authorities to justify detention and often secure immediate release.

Educated at the National Law School of Delhi, Darshit Kurup later pursued a Master’s in Criminal Law from the University of Mumbai. With more than twelve years of courtroom experience, he has built a reputation for achieving favorable settlements and outright acquittals. A noteworthy case involved defending a senior executive accused of misappropriating company funds; Kurup’s meticulous cross‑examination revealed fabricated documents, leading to the dismissal of all charges. In another POCSO defence, he succeeded in having the accusation quashed after exposing inconsistencies in witness testimonies and procedural violations.

Kurup’s working style emphasizes thorough preparation and open communication. He reviews forensic reports, digital evidence, and financial statements with a fine‑tooth comb, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Throughout the litigation, he briefs clients on the strengths and weaknesses of their case, explains likely court scenarios, and advises on the best strategic moves. This transparent dialogue reduces uncertainty and helps clients stay focused on their personal and professional lives.

Choosing Darshit Kurup means engaging a lawyer who can translate complex criminal statutes into understandable strategies.
