Charanpreet Kohli

Profile description

When a charge under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act threatens your freedom, the first thought is often how to stop the case before it proceeds. Charanpreet Kohli, a seasoned advocate in Chandigarh, steps in at that critical moment. With a focus on NDPS proceedings, the lawyer has built a reputation for turning seemingly hopeless filings into dismissed matters.

One of the core strengths of Charanpreet Kohli lies in the ability to secure quashing of NDPS proceedings. The advocate examines the charge sheet, the investigative report, and procedural compliance in detail. If any flaw—such as lack of jurisdiction, improper sanction, or missing evidence—appears, the lawyer files a petition to the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking complete dismissal. Past cases show success in obtaining relief within weeks, allowing clients to resume normal life without the burden of a pending trial.

Beyond the first‑instance court, Charanpreet Kohli regularly assists clients who need to approach the Supreme Court of India through a Special Leave Petition. The advocate prepares a concise, fact‑driven petition that highlights errors of law, misuse of power, or violation of constitutional rights. By presenting a clear narrative and supporting jurisprudence, the lawyer has secured several landmark approvals, enabling the Supreme Court to intervene and set precedent in NDDS matters.

The defence of NDPS conspiracy and abetment charges forms another pillar of the practice. Charanpreet Kohli analyses the prosecution’s allegation of participation, planning, or assistance in drug‑related offences. The advocate conducts independent investigations, gathers alibi evidence, and challenges the legal definition of ‘abetment’ under the Act. In multiple instances, the lawyer has negotiated reduced charges, secured acquittals, or achieved favorable settlement terms, saving clients from severe imprisonment and financial loss.

All of this work is carried out in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India. The advocate combines rigorous legal research with courtroom confidence, ensuring that every filing, argument, and appeal is tailored to the client’s unique circumstances. Whether you face an imminent NDPS trial or need to overturn an earlier order, Charanpreet Kohli can explain the options, chart a strategic path, and fight for the best possible outcome.

Charanpreet Kohli brings more than a decade of courtroom experience to every case. After completing a distinguished law degree at a leading Indian university, the advocate joined a high‑profile firm before establishing an independent practice focused on narcotics legislation. Over the years, the lawyer has handled dozens of complex filings, from pre‑trial bail applications to post‑conviction relief. The approach is methodical: the advocate reviews every document, meets the client to understand personal and financial impacts, and then crafts a strategy that balances aggressive defence with realistic expectations. Clients often commend the lawyer for clear communication, timely updates, and compassionate support during stressful proceedings.
