With a decade of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, Aulakh has earned a reputation for turning complex criminal matters into manageable, winning strategies.

Aulakh’s expertise in Sexual Offence Defence begins with a meticulous review of investigative files.

When a client’s liberty is threatened, Aulakh routinely files Habeas Corpus petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer argues that detention is unlawful when procedural safeguards are absent or when the client’s fundamental rights are infringed. These petitions have secured immediate release for individuals held without charge, reaffirming the constitutional right to personal freedom.

Aulakh’s courtroom style is both assertive and composed. The lawyer presents clear, concise arguments, emphasising the burden of proof that lies with the prosecution. By preparing comprehensive defence briefs and delivering compelling oral submissions, Aulakh has consistently swayed judges to dismiss charges or grant favourable settlements. The lawyer’s track record includes multiple recognitions from the local Bar Association for excellence in criminal defence and contributions to legal scholarship on sexual offence law.

Clients frequently commend Aulakh for the ability to translate legal jargon into understandable language, allowing them to make informed decisions throughout the process. The lawyer also offers strategic counsel on media interactions, recognising the importance of managing public perception alongside legal battles. Through regular seminars on sexual offence legislation and constitutional safeguards, Aulakh demonstrates a commitment to both client advocacy and broader legal education. If you face a sexual offence allegation or unlawful detention, Aulakh can analyse the specifics, chart a defence pathway, and fight to restore your liberty before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
