Deependra Bhandari

Profile description

Facing an NDPS charge and fearing that the case might end up in a higher forum? Deependra Bhandari understands how a Special Leave Petition can become the lifeline for someone caught in the throes of a drug‑related prosecution. Whether the matter is currently before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh or poised for review by the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer offers a seamless bridge between the two jurisdictions.

Deependra Bhandari brings over twelve years of focused practice in criminal appellate work. After earning a law degree from Panjab University and completing a master’s in forensic law, the lawyer served as a junior advocate in the High Court before establishing an independent practice. The lawyer’s docket includes a range of SLPs that have successfully remanded cases for fresh evidence, secured bail, and overturned convictions on procedural defects.

The lawyer’s approach begins with a meticulous audit of the lower court’s judgment. Deependra Bhandari regularly assists clients in identifying statutory misapplications, evidentiary insufficiencies, and violations of due process that form the backbone of a compelling Special Leave Petition. The lawyer drafts petitions that align with recent Supreme Court pronouncements, while also tailoring arguments to address the specific concerns of the Punjab and Haryana High Court when the petition is first examined there.

Track records highlight several high‑profile victories. In one instance, the lawyer’s SLP led the Supreme Court to set aside a conviction that hinged on an improperly recorded statement, resulting in immediate release. In another case before the Chandigarh High Court, the lawyer secured a stay of sentence pending appeal, allowing the client to remain out of custody while the appeal proceeds. Clients consistently note the lawyer’s clear communication, rapid filing, and strategic insight.

If you are navigating an NDPS case that may require a Special Leave Petition, Deependra Bhandari can explain the procedural pathway, assess the strengths of your position, and craft a petition that addresses both the High Court and the apex bench. The lawyer’s blend of courtroom familiarity, statutory expertise, and client‑focused advocacy offers a solid foundation for a hopeful resolution.
