Mridul Sangwan

Profile description

When a routine offence leads to pre‑trial detention, the sudden loss of freedom can disrupt work, family life, and future plans. Mridul Sangwan is a bail advocate based in Chandigarh who routinely assists individuals seeking default bail or relief under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act, appearing before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Default bail typically arises when a person is unable to meet court‑ordered monetary conditions or lacks proper documentation. Sangwan has spent over twelve years mastering the procedural intricacies of such petitions, ensuring that every financial detail is verified and presented clearly. By establishing the accused’s stable income, residing address, and willingness to comply with court directives, the advocate frequently persuades judges to grant interim liberty while the main trial proceeds.

The Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act imposes stringent reporting requirements and can result in lengthy custodial periods. Sangwan regularly helps clients charged with alleged financial transfers, suspicious transactions, or involvement in shell companies. The lawyer conducts exhaustive forensic reviews of banking records, maps the flow of funds, and prepares comprehensive affidavits that demonstrate the accused’s cooperation with investigative agencies. By arguing that continued detention would hamper the collection of evidence and cause undue hardship, the advocate has secured both personal and anticipatory bail in several high‑profile cases.

Having argued extensively before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Sangwan understands the bench’s preference for concise, fact‑driven submissions. The advocate also appears before the Supreme Court of India when a matter escalates, leveraging recent Supreme Court pronouncements on bail jurisprudence to strengthen the petition. In each instance, the lawyer emphasizes the principle that bail should not be denied solely on the gravity of the allegation, but rather on concrete concerns such as flight risk or tampering with evidence.

One recent achievement involved a default bail petition for a small‑business owner who missed a court‑ordered payment due to an accounting error. Sangwan presented audited statements, proof of immediate corrective action, and a personal bond, convincing the High Court judge to release the client on the same day. In a separate PMLA matter, the advocate represented a senior corporate executive accused of facilitating cross‑border fund transfers. By securing cooperation agreements with the Enforcement Directorate and highlighting the executive’s clean personal record, Sangwan obtained anticipatory bail from the Supreme Court, allowing the client to travel abroad for essential medical treatment while the investigation continued.

Clients choosing Sangwan for bail matters receive transparent updates at each stage, a clear assessment of the chances of success, and a strategic plan tailored to the specific court and charge. The advocate prepares all necessary documents, coordinates with forensic experts when needed, and presents a focused oral argument that underscores the client’s right to liberty. While every case carries uncertainty, Sangwan’s extensive track record of winning bail in both default and PMLA proceedings gives confidence that the strongest possible defense will be mounted.

By focusing on factual clarity and compassionate representation, Sangwan aims to restore personal freedom quickly, enabling clients to return to work, support their families, and address the legal issue with confidence.
