Raktim Gupta

Profile description

Being accused of murder or attempted murder triggers fear, stigma, and the threat of a life‑changing sentence. Raktim Gupta dedicates practice to defending clients against these gravest charges, working before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

In the High Court, Raktim Gupta files comprehensive defence statements, challenges the admissibility of forensic evidence, and scrutinizes eyewitness reliability. The lawyer’s experience includes dissecting investigative reports, cross‑examining forensic experts, and presenting alibi evidence that creates reasonable doubt. By assembling a cohesive narrative that aligns with statutory provisions and case law, Raktim Gupta regularly secures reductions in charges, acquittals, or convictions on lesser offenses.

When the case escalates to the Supreme Court, Raktim Gupta focuses on Special Leave Petitions and Criminal Review Petitions that question procedural defects, violation of fundamental rights, or misinterpretation of law by lower courts. The lawyer’s meticulous drafting highlights jurisdictional errors, bias, or new scientific findings that could overturn a conviction. Successful petitions have resulted in stays on death sentences, remands for fresh trials, and even full exonerations, underscoring the impact of a well‑crafted appeal at the nation’s apex court.

Raktim Gupta also handles High Court Petitions under Inherent Jurisdiction to address circumstances where the trial process itself has become oppressive. By seeking appropriate relief—such as the release of a client on bail or the correction of an erroneous order—the lawyer protects the basic right to liberty while the substantive appeal is pending.

The lawyer’s approach begins with an exhaustive fact‑finding mission. Raktim Gupta reviews police reports, forensic analyses, and witness statements, consulting independent experts when needed.
