Hiral Sangwan appears at this crucial juncture, offering specialist defence strategies tailored to the sensitivities of POCSO cases. The first meeting focuses on gathering factual details, assessing the evidence, and outlining a defence roadmap that respects both the rights of the accused and the procedural safeguards established by law.

Hiral Sangwan brings over a decade of experience defending POCSO matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer has represented clients ranging from first‑time accused to repeat defendants, developing a nuanced understanding of how investigative procedures, forensic reports, and witness testimonies interplay in this specialized area. By scrutinising every piece of evidence, the lawyer identifies inconsistencies, procedural lapses, and potential violations of the accused’s constitutional rights, which form the backbone of a robust defence.

In the High Court, Hiral Sangwan employs a multi‑layered approach. This includes filing pre‑trial bail applications, issuing statutory notices to challenge the admissibility of electronic evidence, and presenting expert witnesses to counter forensic conclusions.

Clients have benefited from reduced charges, acquittals, or favorable settlement terms, thanks to the lawyer’s ability to negotiate effectively with the prosecution while maintaining a vigorous courtroom presence.

When the High Court decision does not provide relief, Hiral Sangwan can elevate the matter to the Supreme Court of India through a Special Leave Petition. The lawyer’s extensive exposure to Supreme Court jurisprudence on child protection statutes enables the preparation of petitions that argue misinterpretation of law, infringement of the right to a fair trial, and the need for proportionality in sentencing.
