Operating before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, they specialize in NDPS bail matters that involve large seizures. Their focus is on balancing the seriousness of the charge with the client’s right to liberty while the case proceeds.

Debajit regularly assists clients in filing bail applications that emphasize the presumption of innocence, the lack of flight risk, and the possibility of cooperating with investigators. By presenting detailed affidavits, cash flow statements, and personal ties to the community, they persuade the bench to grant commercial‑quantity bail, which allows the accused to remain free pending trial. Their familiarity with recent High Court rulings on NDPS bail helps them craft arguments that align with judicial expectations.

Financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders under the NDPS Act present intertwined challenges. Debajit brings a thorough knowledge of the statutory distinctions between legitimate business finance and prohibited drug‑related transactions. They collaborate with forensic experts to trace the movement of funds, identify the point where illegal activity began, and argue that the client’s involvement was peripheral or unintentional. Successful arguments often lead to the dismissal of the financing charge or a reduction in the penalty.

The NDPS Preventive Detention Writ Petition is a powerful tool when authorities seek to detain an individual without a trial. Debajit can help file a writ that challenges the legality of such detention, highlighting constitutional safeguards and the lack of substantive evidence. Their petitions cite precedent from the Punjab and Haryana High Court that has curtailed arbitrary detention and restored personal liberty. In many cases, the court issues a stay, allowing the client to resume normal life while the matter is examined.
