Myra Shrivastava

Profile description

Imagine being charged with a serious offence and watching the lower court hand down a verdict that threatens your future. In Chandigarh, many clients turn to a trusted professional who can challenge that decision at the highest levels. Myra Shrivastava is a dedicated lawyer who regularly assists individuals seeking to overturn or modify criminal judgments. With a focus on both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the advocate blends local insight with a national perspective to protect clients’ rights.

Criminal appeals form the backbone of Myra Shrivastava’s practice. The lawyer evaluates whether the trial court erred in interpreting statutes, misapplied legal principles, or ignored crucial evidence. After a detailed examination, the advocate prepares an appellate brief that pinpoints specific mistakes and offers authoritative case law to support the correction. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Myra has successfully persuaded judges to set aside convictions where procedural irregularities existed, and in the Supreme Court, the lawyer has secured landmark rulings that clarified ambiguous criminal provisions. Clients benefit from a strategy that balances rigorous legal research with clear, persuasive storytelling.

The lawyer’s fraud and cheating defence expertise addresses a wide spectrum of economic offences, from alleged financial misrepresentation to complex cyber‑fraud schemes. Myra conducts a forensic review of transaction records, banking statements, and electronic evidence to uncover inconsistencies that may exonerate the accused. By collaborating with chartered accountants and digital forensics specialists, the advocate builds a robust defence that challenges the prosecution’s narrative at its core. In several high‑profile cases before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer achieved complete acquittals by demonstrating that critical elements of the offence – such as dishonest intent or fraudulent act – were missing. This meticulous approach often results in reduced charges or favorable settlements before a full trial.

When an appeal is filed, the law often allows a sentence to be suspended until the higher court delivers its judgment. Myra Shrivastava has a proven track record of securing such suspensions, which protect clients from immediate incarceration and enable them to maintain employment and family responsibilities. The lawyer files a comprehensive application that highlights the appellant’s clean conduct, lack of flight risk, and the disproportionate impact of an immediate sentence. Judges in both the High Court and the Supreme Court have repeatedly granted suspension orders on the basis of the advocate’s clear presentation of facts and the public interest considerations. This relief can be a lifeline for individuals awaiting a final decision.

One recent example showcases the lawyer’s ability to combine appeals and suspension strategies. A client accused of money‑laundering received a five‑year sentence at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, but Myra filed an appeal and simultaneously secured a suspension of the sentence. While the Supreme Court examined the legal merits, the client continued to work and support their family. The appeal resulted in a partial remission of the term and a directive for a fresh trial on procedural grounds. Clients consistently praise the lawyer’s transparent fee policy, timely updates, and the personal attention given to each case file. Though no outcome can be guaranteed, the advocate promises to explore every legal avenue and fight vigorously for the most favorable result. If you are confronting a criminal conviction that feels irreversible, partnering with a lawyer who understands both appellate intricacies and suspension mechanisms can dramatically shift the course of your case.
