Profile description

If you have been accused of a cyber‑offence or feel that your fundamental rights have been infringed, the need for a specialist who understands both technology and the law becomes critical. Pallab Das regularly assists clients facing cybercrime allegations and those seeking protection of life and liberty through writ petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. His approach blends technical insight with sharp legal acumen, ensuring that each case receives a defence grounded in both facts and law.

Pallab’s practice in cybercrime defence covers offences under the Information Technology Act, the Indian Penal Code, and related statutes. He has spent more than twelve years defending individuals and corporate entities accused of hacking, data theft, phishing, and online fraud.
