Mehran Hegde

Profile description

Imagine discovering that a colleague or business partner has misappropriated funds, and the police have opened a criminal breach of trust case against you. In that crisis, Mehran Hegde stands ready as a dedicated criminal‑breach‑of‑trust defence lawyer who understands both the investigative and courtroom dimensions of such matters.

Mehran Hegde focuses exclusively on defending clients accused under sections 405 and 409 of the IPC. The lawyer regularly assists individuals and corporate entities facing allegations ranging from embezzlement and misappropriation of property to fraudulent financial transactions. By dissecting the prosecution’s evidence, challenging the admissibility of documents, and establishing legitimate ownership or consent, the lawyer builds a robust defence. The lawyer also prepares detailed financial audits and works with chartered accountants to trace fund flows, which often uncovers evidence of legitimate transactions that the prosecution overlooked. The lawyer’s strategy also involves negotiating with investigators to secure a favourable settlement or to withdraw false complaints before they reach trial.

The legal arena for breach‑of‑trust cases often moves beyond the trial court to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and in complex or precedent‑setting matters, to the Supreme Court of India. Mehran Hegde has appeared before both benches, mastering the procedural nuances of each. The lawyer prepares meticulously researched written submissions that blend statutory interpretation with commercial realities, enabling the High Court to see beyond the surface of the alleged crime. When a case demands clarification of a constitutional principle—such as the right to property or due process—the lawyer is prepared to elevate the argument to the Supreme Court, where a well‑crafted petition can shape future jurisprudence. In instances where the Supreme Court is approached, the lawyer prepares comprehensive special leave petitions, highlighting the public interest and the need for uniform interpretation of trust‑related statutes across India.

Recent victories illustrate the lawyer’s effectiveness. In a high‑profile corporate fraud case, the lawyer secured an acquittal after demonstrating that the disputed amounts were authorized loans, not misappropriated funds. In another matter involving a small business owner, the lawyer succeeded in quashing the charges by exposing procedural lapses in the police investigation and proving that the alleged breach was a misunderstanding of contract terms. A recent client testimonial notes that the lawyer’s methodical preparation turned a potential five‑year imprisonment into a complete dismissal, and that the transparent fee structure made the process financially manageable. Clients consistently commend the clear guidance provided throughout the legal battle, noting that complex financial jargon is explained in plain language, and that realistic timelines are set from the outset.

If you are confronting a criminal breach of trust allegation, you do not have to face the prosecution alone. Mehran Hegde can help you evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the case, craft a defence that protects your reputation and assets, and, when necessary, advocate for you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s blend of commercial insight and courtroom vigor ensures that every possible avenue is explored.
