Anupam Sankhla

Profile description

If you have been convicted under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and believe the trial court erred, you may wonder whether a petition to the Supreme Court can overturn the decision. Anupam Sankhla is a seasoned advocate who specialises in filing Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in ND S cases before the Supreme Court of India. With a focused practice on the highest appellate forum, this lawyer brings a deep understanding of the procedural and substantive nuances that determine whether a case will be entertained at the apex.

Anupam Sankhla earned a Master of Laws from the National Law University, Delhi, and subsequently cleared the All‑India Bar Examination with top marks. Over the past fifteen years, the advocate has represented clients in dozens of SLPs, securing relief in a significant proportion of them. The lawyer’s familiarity with the Supreme Court’s drafting standards, citation practices, and oral argument techniques enables the filing of petitions that capture the Court’s attention. In ND S matters, where statutory penalties can be severe, the ability to craft a compelling narrative about procedural lapses, mis‑application of law, or new legal precedents often makes the difference between a life sentence and a chance for acquittal.

When you engage Anupam Sankhla, the first step is a comprehensive case audit. The advocate reviews the trial record, identifies any jurisdictional defects, evaluates the correctness of evidence admission, and checks for violations of constitutional safeguards. Based on this analysis, the lawyer drafts a precise SLP that highlights the critical legal questions worthy of Supreme Court review. The advocate then files the petition, monitors the Court’s docket, and prepares for the hearing by rehearsing focused oral submissions. Throughout the process, the lawyer maintains regular updates, explaining each procedural milestone in plain language so the client stays informed.

The lawyer’s track record includes notable victories such as the reversal of a twenty‑year imprisonment in a high‑profile narcotics case, where the Supreme Court found that the lower court had ignored a key precedent on the definition of ‘trafficking’. Another successful petition led to the quashing of an illegal search that violated the accused’s right to privacy, resulting in the dismissal of all subsequent charges. These outcomes demonstrate the advocate’s ability to pinpoint fatal flaws and persuade the apex bench to intervene.

Clients appreciate Anupam Sankhla’s strategic mindset and personal dedication. The advocate approaches each petition with meticulous preparation, leveraging a network of senior counsel and legal researchers to strengthen the argument. Confidentiality is strictly observed, and the lawyer is known for clear, empathetic communication. By choosing this lawyer, you gain a partner who can navigate the complex terrain of Supreme Court practice, articulate the most persuasive points, and work relentlessly toward a favourable judgment.

Beyond the petition, the lawyer also prepares for any ancillary relief such as bail, remission of sentence, or compensation claims that may arise after a favorable judgment. The advocate coordinates with forensic experts, prepares detailed annexures, and files necessary applications promptly to ensure that the client benefits fully from the Supreme Court’s order.

If you are facing an ND S conviction and need an expert who can secure a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court, Anupam Sankhla offers the expertise, experience, and commitment required to fight for your rights at the highest level.
