Profile description

If you have been arrested on murder or attempted murder charges, the prospect of spending years behind bars can be terrifying. Mehak Kannan, a diligent criminal lawyer practicing in Chandigarh, regularly assists clients who need regular bail or a robust defence against murder and attempt to murder accusations. The lawyer’s expertise spans the Punjab and Haryana High Court as well as the Supreme Court of India, ensuring that every possible avenue for protection of liberty is explored.

Mehak Kannan earned a law degree from Panjab University and later completed a post‑graduate diploma in Criminal Defence at the National Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. With more than fourteen years of courtroom experience, the lawyer has appeared before a multitude of judges in the High Court and has also argued before the Supreme Court on matters involving serious offences. The lawyer’s early career involved working with a senior criminal advocate, where exposure to high‑stakes murder trials sharpened investigative and litigation skills.

When a client approaches Mehak Kannan for regular bail, the lawyer first analyses the FIR, the nature of the alleged act, and the evidence presented by the prosecution. By highlighting the client’s clean record, stable family background, and lack of flight risk, the lawyer crafts a bail petition that emphasizes the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ In numerous cases, the lawyer has secured regular bail even when the prosecution argued for pre‑trial detention, allowing clients to remain with their families while the trial proceeds.

Defence against murder and attempt to murder charges requires a meticulous dissection of forensic reports, eyewitness statements, and procedural compliance. Mehak Kannan regularly assists clients by commissioning independent experts to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, reconstructing the sequence of events, and identifying inconsistencies in witness testimonies. The lawyer’s strategy often involves filing motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, contesting the admissibility of confessional statements, and presenting alternative narratives that raise reasonable doubt.

Having practiced before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, Mehak Kannan is adept at navigating the procedural landscape of serious criminal matters. The lawyer can escalate a bail application to the Supreme Court when the High Court’s decision is unfavorable, invoking constitutional safeguards under Article 21. Likewise, the lawyer can file criminal review petitions to challenge conviction orders that are believed to be based on procedural irregularities or misinterpretation of law.

Clients value the lawyer’s clear communication style, which breaks down complex legal concepts into understandable terms. Mehak Kannan explains the potential consequences of each legal step, outlines the likely timeline, and provides realistic assessments of outcomes. The lawyer’s commitment to protecting personal liberty, combined with a proven track record of securing bail and achieving favourable defence results, offers a reliable shield for those confronting the grave charges of murder or attempted murder.
