Jasleen Dhruw is the advocate who guides clients through criminal revision, murder and attempt to murder defence, and POCSO defence, handling matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when required, the Supreme Court of India.

Jasleen Dhruw regularly assists clients who seek a criminal revision after a trial court judgment appears to be based on procedural errors, misapprehension of evidence or legal misinterpretation. The lawyer prepares meticulous revision petitions that spotlight specific flaws, argue for the reconsideration of findings and request a fresh examination of the case. By presenting a concise and well‑supported argument to the High Court, the lawyer works to overturn an unjust conviction or reduce an excessive sentence.

When accused of murder or attempt to murder, the lawyer brings a strategic defence that examines the facts, forensic evidence and motive. Jasleen Dhruw can challenge the reliability of witness statements, question the chain of custody for weapon and DNA samples, and present alternative narratives that explain the alleged act as self‑defence, accident or misidentification. The lawyer’s approach combines rigorous legal research with a compassionate understanding of the client’s personal circumstances.

In POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases, the stakes are even higher. Jasleen Dhruw has experience navigating the sensitive nature of these allegations, ensuring that the client’s rights are protected while respecting the gravity of the allegations. The lawyer can scrutinise the procedural compliance of the investigation, challenge any admissibility issues with recorded statements and work with child‑psychology experts to evaluate the credibility of testimony. By focusing on factual accuracy and legal standards, the lawyer strives to achieve a fair outcome.

The advocate’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Punjab and a Master of Laws in Criminal Law from the National Law University. Over the past fourteen years, Jasleen Dhruw has practised exclusively in Chandigarh, representing clients in high‑profile murder trials, extensive POCSO investigations and complex revision petitions. The lawyer has appeared before senior judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and has successfully presented criminal review petitions before the Supreme Court of India.
