Pandit Jagat Narain Mulla (born 14 December 1864, Kashmir; died 11 December 1938) was a prominent lawyer and public prosecutor in United Provinces during the British Raj. Motilal Nehru served as the public prosecutor on behalf of the British in the Kakori case but, instead of using his own name, he submitted the name of his cousin and junior, Pandit Jagat Narayan Mulla.

The Kakori Incident^[1] involved Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Roshan Singh, Ashfaqulla Khan, Roshan Singh, and eight other revolutionaries who planned to rob the government treasury from a train at Kakori station near Lucknow to fund an armed revolution in India. Jagat Narayan Mulla, a Kashmiri Brahmin and a relative of Motilal Nehru, was his junior lawyer in Allahabad and worked in Nehru's office. Together, they actively pursued the conviction of Bismil, Singh, Lahiri, and Khan, ultimately leading to their death sentences.

Jagat Narayan Mulla presented compelling arguments in court that proved the revolutionaries had participated in an armed uprising against the British Government of India and had attempted to loot the treasury. As a result, the British executed all the revolutionaries with the support of Motilal Nehru and his junior, Pandit Jagat Narayan Mulla.
