Kaustubh Agrawal

Profile description

Imagine a police investigation has begun and the charge sheet is still being prepared, but you fear arrest at any moment. In that precarious position an anticipatory bail petition can keep you free while the case unfolds. Kaushubh Agrawal, a seasoned advocate practicing in Chandigarh, specializes in anticipatory bail and criminal revisions against discharge orders before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.

Kaushubh earned his LL.B. from University of Delhi and completed a master’s in criminal law at National Law University, Jodhpur. The first five years of his career were spent drafting bail applications under senior mentors, honing the art of persuasive writing and precise statutory citation. Over the past twelve years he has appeared regularly before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, handling more than two hundred anticipatory bail matters and securing release for clients ranging from business owners to students.

Anticipatory bail is a pre‑emptive safeguard that prevents unlawful arrest when the investigation is still in its early stages. Kaushubh’s approach begins with a thorough review of the FIR, the police report, and any witness statements. The advocate then crafts a petition that highlights the absence of a clear prima facie case, the applicant’s cooperation with authorities, and the potential prejudice of incarceration before trial. By weaving jurisprudential precedents from the Supreme Court of India, the petition often persuades judges to grant protection without the need for a full trial.

When a lower court discharges a case on procedural technicalities, the prosecution may file an appeal to reinstate the proceedings. Kaushubh has built a reputation for filing criminal revisions that convincingly argue why the discharge was improper, pointing out overlooked evidence or misinterpretation of law. The advocate prepares comprehensive review petitions, assembles fresh documentary proof, and presents oral arguments that demonstrate the public interest in continuing the trial. Successful revisions have resulted in the High Court overturning dismissals and allowing the prosecution to move forward.

Clients who have faced sudden discharge orders praise Kaushubh’s tenacity and strategic insight. In one high‑profile case involving alleged financial fraud, the advocate’s revision led the High Court to rescind the discharge, reopening the investigation and securing a conviction that recovered millions for victims. In another instance, a young professional accused of minor assault benefited from a swift revision that kept the matter alive, ultimately resulting in an acquittal. These results illustrate how the right legal maneuver can change the course of a criminal case.

Kaushubh believes that every client deserves a clear roadmap through the complexities of criminal procedure. The advocate schedules regular updates, demystifies courtroom jargon, and prepares clients for each hearing with confidence‑building mock sessions. By leveraging relationships with senior judges and staying current on recent Supreme Court rulings, Kaushubh can anticipate how courts are likely to interpret new evidence. The promise to each client is simple: to fight aggressively for freedom, to overturn unjust discharges, and to secure the most favorable outcome possible, whether that means bail, continuation of prosecution, or ultimate acquittal.
