Vishakha Tanwar

I am a law graduate seeking the position of Legal Researcher at the Punjab & Haryana High Court. Having completed a judicial internship directly under Hon'ble Mr.

Justice Sumeet

Goel at the P&H High Court, I have a clear understanding of how judicial research supports the decision-making process at the High Court level. My experience spans criminal law, constitutional matters, civil procedure, and evidence law — combined with hands-on drafting, case analysis, and statutory interpretation. I am particularly interested in doctrinal legal research and precedent-based analysis, and I am committed to contributing meaningfully to the Court's research work.
