Anusha Aulakh

Profile description

If your NDPS conviction has been upheld by lower courts and you believe the decision involved legal errors, a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court may be your last avenue for relief. Anusha Aulakh specialises in crafting such petitions and can help you navigate the complexities of the highest judicial forum.

Anusha completed a Bachelor of Laws at Panjab University followed by an LL.M. in Constitutional Law from the National Law School of India University. After qualifying as an advocate, the lawyer joined a boutique chamber known for its success in Supreme Court practice. Over the last fourteen years, Anussa has prepared and argued more than eighty Special Leave Petitions, many of which have resulted in substantive revisions of NDPS judgments.

A Special Leave Petition is a discretionary request for the Supreme Court to examine a lower‑court decree. The lawyer first assesses whether the High Court or trial court judgment contains a misinterpretation of statutory provisions, an overlooked precedent, or a procedural flaw that undermines the fairness of the trial. Anusha then drafts a concise petition that frames the legal issues, cites authoritative case law, and articulates the public interest considerations that justify Supreme Court intervention in NDPS matters.

In the Supreme Court, oral arguments are limited to a few minutes, so clarity and focus are paramount. Anusha rehearses the petition’s core points, anticipates bench questions, and prepares precise answers that align with the Court’s jurisprudential trends on drug‑related offenses. The lawyer also files supporting annexures, such as expert opinions on forensic testing and statutory analysis, to strengthen the petition. By presenting a well‑structured case, Anussa has secured stays of execution, remission of sentences, and in several instances, complete acquittals.

Clients repeatedly note Anusha’s ability to demystify the Supreme Court process. The lawyer provides a step‑by‑step roadmap, explaining what a granted Special Leave Petition could achieve – ranging from a stay of the conviction to a full overturn based on legal error. Throughout the proceedings, Anusha maintains regular contact with the client, updating them on the status of the petition and any interim orders. This transparent communication builds confidence and allows the client to plan personal affairs without lingering uncertainty.

Anusha Aulakh remains committed to protecting the constitutional rights of those charged under the NDPS Act. The lawyer stays abreast of legislative amendments, Supreme Court pronouncements, and emerging trends in drug jurisprudence. By combining rigorous research with strategic advocacy, Anussa aims to secure the most favourable outcome, whether that is a reduced sentence, a conditional release, or a complete vindication. The ultimate goal is to restore the client’s freedom and reputation while upholding the rule of law.
