Dheeraj Kalluri

Profile description

Facing charges under the NDPS Act can be overwhelming, especially when the allegations involve conspiracy, abetment, or preventive detention. Dheeraj Kalluri is an advocate who regularly assists clients facing these complex challenges at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s practice spans NDPS Default Bail, defence against conspiracy and abetment accusations, and filing writ petitions to suspend sentences pending appeal.

When a client is detained without bail, the first priority is to secure release. Dheeraj Kalluri can help by preparing a robust default bail application that highlights the client’s personal circumstances, ties to the community, and the lack of any flight risk. The lawyer’s experience includes navigating the High Court’s bail provisions and presenting compelling affidavits that persuade judges to grant interim liberty. By acting swiftly, the advocate reduces the personal and professional disruption that prolonged detention can cause.

If the prosecution has framed the case as a conspiracy or abetment, the lawyer conducts a detailed analysis of the charge sheet, witness statements, and forensic reports. Dheeraj Kalluri can explain how the advocate identifies gaps in evidence, inconsistencies in testimonies, and procedural errors that undermine the prosecution’s narrative. The lawyer then crafts a defence strategy that challenges the alleged connection between the client and any illegal activity, often resulting in the dismissal of specific charges or a reduction in the severity of the accusations.

In situations where the client has already been sentenced, the lawyer can move to suspend the execution of the sentence while the appeal proceeds. Dheeraj Kalluri prepares writ petitions that argue the appeal raises substantial questions of law or fact, and that the client’s continued incarceration would cause irreparable harm. The advocate’s skill in presenting clear, concise arguments before the High Court has led to numerous successful suspensions, allowing clients to remain free while the higher courts review their cases.
