Profile description

When a child protection case escalates to serious criminal charges, the stakes become incredibly high for both the victim and the accused. Arjan Gowda concentrates on Criminal Revision matters and the defence of cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, representing clients before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh.

Arjan Gowda regularly assists individuals who face a revision petition after a lower court’s decision has been unfavorable, as well as those accused under the POCSO Act who require a vigorous defence. The lawyer begins by reviewing the judgment that is being challenged, pinpointing legal errors, misinterpretations of evidence, or procedural lapses that could justify a revision. By preparing a comprehensive revision petition, the lawyer seeks to have the high court set aside or modify the earlier order.

In POCSO defence work, the lawyer conducts a meticulous analysis of the prosecution’s case, scrutinizing the statements, forensic reports, and procedural compliance. Arjan Gowda can explain complex aspects of the POCSO Act to the client, ensuring they understand the charges, potential penalties, and available defences. The lawyer prepares a robust defence strategy that may involve questioning the credibility of witnesses, introducing alibi evidence, or challenging the admissibility of forensic findings.

The lawyer’s experience includes handling high‑profile POCSO cases where the defence successfully secured acquittals or reduced convictions by demonstrating reasonable doubt. In one notable instance, the lawyer’s cross‑examination exposed inconsistencies in the victim’s testimony, leading the high court to overturn the conviction on appeal. Such outcomes highlight the lawyer’s ability to navigate the sensitive nature of child‑related offences while preserving the client’s legal rights.

When filing a criminal revision, Arjan Gowda emphasizes the need for precise legal arguments. The lawyer cites relevant Supreme Court and high court precedents that support a revision, such as cases where the lower court misapplied the POCSO provisions or failed to consider mitigating circumstances. The lawyer also prepares detailed annexures, including transcripts, expert opinions, and new evidence that may have emerged after the original judgment.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s clear communication throughout the process. Arjan Gowda outlines each step of the revision hearing, the possible outcomes, and the timeline for the high court’s decision. By keeping the client informed, the lawyer helps manage expectations and reduces the anxiety that often accompanies criminal proceedings.
