Manpreet Kohli

Profile description

If you have been convicted in a trial court and believe that a legal mistake altered the result, asking for a criminal revision can give you a second chance. Manpreet Kohli is a lawyer who specializes in criminal revision matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer works to identify errors in the application of law, misinterpretation of evidence, or procedural lapses that may have led to an unjust verdict.

Manpreet Kohli earned a law degree from Punjab University, Chandigarh, and later completed a master’s program in criminal jurisprudence. With over fourteen years of courtroom experience, the lawyer has handled a broad spectrum of revision petitions across a variety of offences, from financial fraud to violent crimes. The lawyer’s deep familiarity with the High Court’s procedural rules enables rapid filing and effective argumentation.

In a criminal revision, the lawyer petitions the High Court to examine the trial court’s decision for apparent error, rather than to re‑try the case. Manpreet Kohli reviews the trial record, pinpoints statutory misapplications, and prepares a concise petition that asks the bench to set aside or modify the judgment. The lawyer often highlights how the trial judge overlooked a precedent or failed to consider a crucial piece of evidence, thereby justifying the High Court’s intervention.

Clients commend the lawyer’s methodical preparation and calm courtroom presence. Recent achievements include a revision that resulted in the Punjab and Haryana High Court overturning a five‑year imprisonment for a fraud case after the lawyer demonstrated that the trial court had ignored a key financial audit report. In another matter, the lawyer secured a reduction of a ten‑year sentence for a violent offence by showing that the prosecution’s forensic expert had given a flawed opinion, prompting the High Court to remit part of the punishment.

If you think a mistake tainted your trial, you need a skilled advocate who can navigate the revision process efficiently. Manpreet Kohli can assess whether the facts support a revision, draft the petition with precise legal citations, and represent you before the bench. The lawyer’s focus on thorough analysis and clear presentation increases the likelihood that the High Court will grant relief, whether through a complete acquittal, a sentence reduction, or an order for a fresh hearing.

The lawyer also provides guidance on related relief such as bail applications during the revision pendency and advice on post‑revision steps, including possible appeals to the Supreme Court of India if required. By staying updated on recent High Court judgments, Manpreet Kohli ensures that each revision petition reflects the most current legal interpretations, offering clients a strategic advantage.
