Charvi Kohli

Profile description

If you have been taken into custody for an alleged offence under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the first question on your mind is often how to secure bail and protect your future. Charvi Kohli, a dedicated NDPS lawyer practicing in Chandigarh, understands the urgency of that moment and works to obtain the most favourable relief as quickly as possible.

Charvi Kohli regularly assists clients who are seeking a default bail after a first‑time arrest under the NDPS Act. In such cases the court has the discretion to release a person on bail without requiring a detailed examination of the evidence. By preparing a clear, fact‑based application and highlighting the absence of flight risk, Charvi Kohli can help the Punjab and Haryana High Court grant bail promptly. The lawyer’s ability to articulate the client’s personal circumstances, such as family responsibilities and stable employment, often convinces the bench that detention would be disproportionate.

When the quantity of drugs involved reaches commercial levels, the stakes rise and the bail process becomes more complex. Charvi Kohli has handled numerous NDPS commercial quantity bail applications, demonstrating a nuanced grasp of the high‑court’s criteria for release. The lawyer presents strong arguments concerning the client’s cooperation with investigations, the lack of prior convictions, and the possibility of surrendering any seized property as security. This strategic approach frequently results in the High Court allowing bail even when the narcotic amount could otherwise trigger a lengthy trial.

Defence against accusations of conspiracy or abetment under the NDPS Act requires a careful dissection of the prosecution’s narrative. Charvi Kohli is experienced in building a robust conspiracy and abetment defence, focusing on gaps in the investigation, improper identification of co‑accused, and the lack of direct evidence linking the client to the alleged plan. By filing precise amendments and raising procedural objections, the lawyer can narrow the issues before the Supreme Court of India, where Charvi Kohli has successfully argued for the dismissal of charges that rest on speculative or coerced testimony.

Financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders present distinct legal challenges, often involving assets, financial records, and intricate networks. Charvi Kohli can explain how the NDPS Act treats these offences and can guide clients through the process of protecting legitimate wealth while contesting unlawful attachments. The lawyer’s familiarity with both the High Court and the Supreme Court enables a coordinated defence strategy that addresses immediate arrest matters and prepares for potential appeals on complex financial allegations.

Across all these practice areas, Charvi Kohli’s work is anchored in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when needed, escalated to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer brings more than a decade of courtroom experience, having argued dozens of bail applications, appeals, and substantive NDPS matters. Clients repeatedly commend Charvi Kohli for clear communication, rapid response times, and an unwavering focus on preserving personal liberty while safeguarding reputation.

A typical engagement begins with a confidential consultation where the lawyer reviews the charge sheet, examines the investigative file, and outlines the most effective bail and defence routes. Charvi Kohli then drafts a tailored bail petition, gathers supporting documents such as character certificates and residential proofs, and coordinates with investigators to ensure that any procedural lapses are highlighted before the bench. If the High Court refuses bail or imposes restrictive conditions, the lawyer promptly prepares an appeal to the Supreme Court, leveraging prior successes in similar cases to argue for a reversal.

Beyond courtroom advocacy, Charvi Kohli offers practical advice on managing media exposure, protecting family members from undue scrutiny, and navigating the stress of prolonged legal proceedings.
