After completing a legal education at a premier university, the lawyer joined a firm that handles complex appeals and post‑conviction relief. The lawyer has successfully handled numerous applications that resulted in the High Court issuing suspension orders, keeping clients out of prison until the appellate court renders a decision.

The process begins with a careful examination of the trial record to identify misapplication of law, procedural lapses, or disproportionate sentencing. Tharun Thakur regularly assists clients in preparing a detailed memorandum that highlights these points, supported by case law and statutory provisions. The lawyer files an application under Section 389 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, requesting that the High Court suspend the execution of the sentence pending the outcome of the appeal.

Tharun Thakur’s experience with the Punjab and Haryana High Court enables the lawyer to anticipate the bench’s expectations. The lawyer knows how to present a succinct argument that balances the public interest with the individual’s right to liberty. In several notable instances, the High Court has granted suspension, allowing the client to remain free, continue employment, and support family members while the appeal is pending. Such outcomes often pressure the trial court to reconsider the severity of the original sentence.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s transparent approach. From the outset, the lawyer outlines the procedural steps, potential timelines, and realistic chances of obtaining a suspension. Regular updates are provided, and the lawyer remains accessible for queries throughout the hearing.

Beyond the suspension application, Tharun Thakur prepares the substantive appeal, drafting comprehensive pleadings that argue on merits, errors of law, and constitutional safeguards.
