Amanpreet Murmu

Profile description

If a conviction has already been recorded and you believe the judgment was flawed, you may need to challenge it through a criminal appeal. Amanpreet Murmu is a dedicated criminal lawyer based in Chandigarh who regularly assists clients in filing and arguing appeals before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s focus is on identifying legal errors, misinterpretations of evidence, and procedural oversights that can overturn a conviction or reduce a sentence. By preparing meticulous appellate briefs and delivering compelling oral arguments, the lawyer works to secure a reversal or modification of the original order.

Another area of expertise is the defence of criminal breach of trust cases. These matters often involve complex financial transactions, corporate relationships, or fiduciary responsibilities. Amanpreet Murmu examines accounting records, contracts, and communication logs to uncover discrepancies that can exonerate a client. The lawyer challenges the prosecution’s narrative by demonstrating lack of intent, misinterpretation of contractual terms, or procedural violations during investigation. Successful outcomes have included dismissals of charges, acquittals, and substantial reductions in penalties.

When a sentence has already been imposed, many clients look for a suspension of the sentence pending appeal. Amanpreet Murmu can file a petition to stay the execution of the sentence while the higher court reviews the case. The lawyer argues that the client’s personal circumstances, health concerns, or the likelihood of a successful appeal merit temporary relief. By securing a suspension, the lawyer helps preserve the client’s livelihood and avoids irreversible consequences until a definitive judgment is reached.

Academically, the lawyer holds a Bachelor of Laws from a leading law college and completed a postgraduate diploma in criminal law from a national institute. Over a decade of practice has seen the lawyer appear before the Punjab and Haryana High Court on numerous appellate matters and before the Supreme Court of India on landmark criminal review petitions. Notable achievements include a landmark Supreme Court decision that clarified the scope of criminal breach of trust and several high‑profile appellate victories that set precedents for future cases.

Amanpreet Murmu follows a systematic, client‑focused methodology. The lawyer begins with a comprehensive case audit, identifying every point of error and possible remedial measure. Detailed written opinions are provided to explain the strengths and weaknesses of the appeal, the chances of securing a suspension, and the strategic steps required. Throughout the process, the lawyer maintains transparent communication, provides regular case updates, and coordinates with forensic accountants and senior advocates as needed. The commitment is to protect your legal rights, challenge unjust convictions, and obtain the most favorable resolution achievable in the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India.
