Ria earned a law degree from the University of Delhi and completed a master’s in criminal law at Panjab University.

Her track record includes securing regular bail in complex narcotics cases, overturning wrongful bail cancellations in economic offences, and obtaining default bail for clients who missed procedural deadlines but retained merit in their defence. Judges recognize her meticulous filings and persuasive oral arguments, which often tip the scale in favour of release.

When a bail issue reaches the Supreme Court of India, Ria’s experience becomes a critical asset. She has prepared special leave petitions that have persuaded the apex court to intervene in high‑profile cases, preserving liberty while the lower courts review the matter. Her approach blends rigorous legal research with a focus on the human impact of detention. By highlighting errors in lower‑court orders and presenting fresh arguments, she creates a compelling case for the Supreme Court to grant bail or stay a cancellation. Clients appreciate her confidence in navigating the nation’s top courtroom.

Ria is known for clear communication and realistic expectations. She meets clients at the earliest opportunity, explains the strengths and risks of each bail option, and keeps them updated on every hearing. Her team files detailed affidavits, gathers supporting documents, and coordinates with investigators to strengthen the case. As a result, many clients have walked out of jail within days of filing, while others have secured extended bail periods that allow them to work, support family, and prepare a defence. Testimonials frequently cite her dedication, strategic insight, and compassionate handling of stressful situations.

If you are confronting detention and need an advocate who can move quickly, argues convincingly, and leverages experience in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, Ria Shekhawat is prepared to fight for your release.
