Aman Kisku

Profile description

When a client is arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the trial court’s judgment seems harsh, the next step often involves filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India. Such a petition can challenge the conviction, seek a reduction of sentence, or request a review of legal errors that occurred at lower levels. Aman Kisku is a dedicated NDPS specialist who regularly assists individuals in navigating this critical phase. By filing an SLP, the Supreme Court can examine whether the High Court or trial court misapplied the law, overlooked procedural safeguards, or imposed a disproportionate penalty.

Aman Kisku earned a Bachelor of Laws at Panjab University, Chandigarh, followed by a Master of Laws focused on Criminal Law at the National Law School of India University. Over the past sixteen years, the lawyer has built a reputation for handling complex NDPS matters, especially those that reach the apex court. The advocate has served as a junior to senior counsel in the Punjab and Haryana High Court before establishing an independent practice in Chandigarh. This background provides a deep understanding of both High Court and Supreme Court jurisprudence on narcotics offenses.

In the realm of Special Leave Petitions, Aman Kisku has drafted more than sixty successful SLPs in the past five years. The lawyer’s approach begins with a meticulous review of the trial record, identification of errors in fact or law, and preparation of concise, precedent‑driven arguments. By citing landmark Supreme Court decisions on NDPS sentencing, the advocate can persuade the bench to grant relief, whether it is a stay of execution, a commutation of sentence, or a full reversal of conviction. Clients often appreciate the lawyer’s ability to translate dense legal doctrines into clear explanations, helping them comprehend the stakes of each hearing.

Beyond petition drafting, the lawyer offers strategic counsel on pre‑petition matters. This includes advising on the preservation of evidence, coordinating with forensic experts, and managing interactions with investigating agencies. Aman Kisku can help clients understand how to present mitigating factors such as personal hardship, rehabilitation efforts, or lack of prior convictions, which can strengthen the case for leniency. The advocate also maintains a network of senior counsel at the Supreme Court, ensuring that each petition benefits from collaborative insight and up‑to‑date legal strategies.

Success stories highlight the lawyer’s dedication. In one recent case, an individual sentenced to ten years for a small‑scale possession charge saw the Supreme Court reduce the term to three years after the SLP revealed procedural lapses during evidence collection. In another matter, a client’s death‑penalty appeal was dismissed, but the SLP secured a stay that allowed the client to file a fresh review petition, ultimately leading to a life‑sentence re‑evaluation. Such outcomes demonstrate the lawyer’s commitment to fighting for fair treatment under the NDPS framework.

When faced with the uncertainty of a Supreme Court petition, it is crucial to act promptly and choose a lawyer who combines courtroom experience with a compassionate, client‑focused approach. Aman Kisku regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive petitions, representing them before the bench, and guiding them through the emotional toll of prolonged litigation. By choosing a lawyer with a proven track record in NDPS SLPs, clients gain a strategic partner capable of maximizing the chances of a favorable decision.
