Arjan Hembram

Profile description

When the police seize a large amount of narcotics and file an NDPS charge that labels the quantity as commercial, the prospect of a long prison term looms large. Arjan Hembram steps in to protect rights at the earliest stage, offering commercial‑quantity bail, robust appeals, and petitions to quash proceedings before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Arjan Hembram graduated with distinction in law from Panjab University and later completed a specialization in Criminal Justice from the National Law School. With over sixteen years of experience in high‑court litigation, the advocate has become a recognized figure in NDPS defence. The lawyer’s portfolio includes landmark appeals that have altered the interpretation of commercial quantity thresholds, as well as numerous successful bail applications for clients accused of handling sizable drug consignments.

For a client facing commercial‑quantity charges, the first priority is securing bail that reflects the presumption of innocence while acknowledging the seriousness of the allegation. Arjan Hembram conducts a swift forensic review of seizure records, chain‑of‑custody logs, and laboratory reports. By highlighting procedural irregularities, lack of proper testing, or evidence of diversion, the lawyer drafts a bail petition that stresses the client’s stable livelihood, strong community ties, and willingness to cooperate with investigators. The high court often responds to such a detailed application by granting bail with tailored conditions, allowing the accused to remain free pending trial.

If the trial concludes with a conviction, Arjan Hembram can initiate a comprehensive appeal. The advocate prepares a memorandum that scrutinizes trial errors, misapplication of the NDPS provisions, and any bias in evidentiary assessment. By citing precedent‑setting Supreme Court judgments and recent high‑court decisions, the lawyer argues for reversal or modification of the sentence. The appeal strategy is built on a deep familiarity with procedural nuances, ensuring that every point of law is raised before the appellate bench.

In parallel, the advocate evaluates whether the entire proceeding should be quashed. When the investigation reveals violations such as illegal search, fabricated statements, or non‑compliance with mandatory testing standards, Arjan Hembram files a petition for quashing under Section 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The lawyer presents a concise case that the prosecution’s evidence fails to establish a prima facie basis, prompting the high court to dismiss the charge entirely. This dual approach—bail, appeal, and quash—offers clients multiple pathways to relief.

Clients repeatedly commend Arjan Hembram for clear explanations and a calm demeanor during stressful periods. The advocate provides regular updates, outlines possible outcomes, and prepares the client for each hearing. By combining aggressive legal tactics with empathetic support, the lawyer turns daunting NDPS accusations involving commercial quantities into manageable legal battles that often end with freedom restored and reputations preserved.
