Tharun Netam

Profile description

If you have been convicted of a sexual offence and believe the judgment contains legal errors, you may seek a criminal revision to correct the record, and in certain cases the matter can even reach the Supreme Court for a definitive review. Tharun Netam is an advocate who is skilled in handling criminal revision petitions and defending clients charged with sexual offences before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. Clients who come to Tharun often describe the distress of facing a stigma‑laden accusation and the urgent need for expert representation that can navigate complex procedural terrain.

Tharun Netam combines fifteen years of focused practice in criminal defence with a deep understanding of the appellate system. A graduate of a leading law faculty, Tharun earned a postgraduate diploma in Criminal Procedure and spent two years as a research associate at the Supreme Court, studying landmark judgments on sexual offence jurisprudence. Over the career, Tharun has defended clients in high‑profile cases, secured acquittals, and successfully filed criminal revision petitions that corrected misapplications of law by High Court benches. Senior judges have praised Tharun’s precise drafting and persuasive oral submissions.

A criminal revision petition is filed under Article 136 of the Constitution when a High Court order is alleged to be erroneous, illegal, or unconstitutional. Tharun can explain that the petition must identify specific flaws such as misinterpretation of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, improper reliance on inadmissible evidence, or denial of a fair hearing. When the revision petition is dismissed, Tharun assesses whether a Special Leave Petition to the Supreme Court is viable, focusing on substantial questions of law or fundamental rights violations. In sexual offence defence, Tharun conducts exhaustive fact‑finding, challenges the credibility of prosecution witnesses, and raises forensic challenges, ensuring that every element of the charge is scrutinized.

Tharun’s strategy is rooted in meticulous case analysis and strategic use of precedent. The advocate collaborates with forensic specialists, psychologists, and senior counsel to build a defence narrative that highlights inconsistencies and procedural lapses. In criminal revision matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Tharun prepares detailed grounds of revision, attaches fresh evidence where permissible, and presents oral arguments that emphasize constitutional safeguards. When a matter advances to the Supreme Court, Tharun drafts a Special Leave Petition that underscores the broader legal importance of the issue, often securing a hearing that leads to the quashing of an unjust conviction or a modification of the sentence. Successes include reversal of a conviction based on improper cross‑examination, reduction of a custodial sentence where the court failed to consider mitigating factors, and setting a precedent on the admissibility of digital evidence.

Facing a sexual offence charge or an erroneous appellate order can feel overwhelming, but a seasoned advocate can turn the tide. Tharun Netam offers a comprehensive approach that combines criminal revision expertise with robust sexual offence defence, across both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
