Divya Murugan

Profile description

Imagine you have been arrested for possession of a controlled substance and the magistrate has denied you the default bail that the NDPS Act normally provides. Divya Murugan is a lawyer who regularly assists clients facing this exact scenario in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, guiding them through the process of obtaining NDPS default bail.

Divya Murugan has spent more than a decade developing expertise in the nuances of bail applications under the NDPS framework. The lawyer knows how to structure a bail petition that addresses the court’s concerns about flight risk, tampering with evidence, and public safety, while also emphasizing the presumption of innocence and the right to liberty. By presenting a well‑drafted affidavit, supporting documents, and a clear narrative of the client’s circumstances, the lawyer aims to persuade the bench to grant bail promptly.

Clients benefit from the lawyer’s ability to explain the high‑court’s expectations in simple terms. Divya Murugan outlines what the court looks for: a stable residence, a clean criminal record, reliable surety, and assurances that the client will cooperate with the investigation. The lawyer also prepares clients for possible objections from the prosecution and rehearses responses that keep the focus on statutory criteria rather than speculative accusations.

In recent practice, the lawyer has secured default bail for a wide spectrum of defendants, from first‑time offenders to individuals caught in complex supply‑chain investigations. By leveraging persuasive oral arguments and meticulous documentation, the lawyer has helped clients avoid extended pre‑trial detention, allowing them to continue work, education, or family responsibilities while the case proceeds.

Divya Murugan adopts a collaborative style, working closely with private investigators, forensic analysts, and senior counsel when a case requires additional expertise. The lawyer also monitors any changes in the High Court’s jurisprudence on NDPS bail, ensuring that each petition reflects the most current legal standards. When you meet with Divya Murugan, you can expect a thorough review of your situation, a realistic assessment of the chances of bail, and a strategic plan that maximises the likelihood of a favourable order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
