Girish Tiwari

Profile description

Being arrested under the NDPS Act can leave a person confined in a police lock‑up while the investigation drags on, often with the looming threat of a harsh sentence. In such situations, securing bail or obtaining a suspension of the sentence pending appeal can preserve personal freedom and provide a chance to contest the charges effectively. Girish Tiwari is a diligent lawyer who regularly assists clients in the Punjab and Haryana High Court with both bail applications and post‑conviction relief strategies.

Girish earned his LL.B. from DAV University, followed by a Master’s in Constitutional Law from Panjab University, where he focused his thesis on the intersection of drug legislation and fundamental rights. He spent five years as a research fellow in a criminal justice institute, drafting policy recommendations that later informed high‑court rulings on bail jurisprudence. After serving as an assistant to a senior High Court advocate, he launched his own practice, concentrating on NDPS matters that require swift procedural intervention.

Under the NDPS Act, bail is generally non‑discretionary, yet the High Court possesses the authority to grant it when the accused can demonstrate that the alleged offense is not of a serious nature or that the evidence is weak. Girish excels at assembling the necessary documents, such as medical certificates, character references, and proof of stable employment, and he can argue that the accused’s detention would impede the preparation of an effective defence. His recent success includes obtaining bail for a client within 48 hours of arrest, preventing prolonged incarceration and allowing the client to cooperate with the investigation on transparent terms.

When a conviction has already been recorded, the next critical step is to seek a suspension of the sentence pending appeal, which can keep the client out of prison while the appellate process proceeds. Girish is well‑versed in filing Section 397 petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, presenting arguments that focus on procedural irregularities, mis‑application of the NDPS provisions, and new evidence that could overturn the judgment. In multiple instances he has secured a stay on imprisonment, allowing his clients to remain free and maintain their livelihood during the lengthy appeal period.

Girish places a high priority on transparent communication, ensuring that clients receive updates after every hearing and understand the strategic choices at each stage. He collaborates with forensic experts to challenge illegal seizures and with financial auditors to trace any illicit assets that may be subject to attachment. Clients appreciate his methodical preparation and his ability to simplify complex procedural rules, which reduces anxiety and builds confidence throughout the legal process.

If you are currently detained under the NDPS Act, have been sentenced, or are seeking bail to continue your daily responsibilities, Girish Tiwari can assess the specifics of your case, file the appropriate bail or suspension petition, and represent you diligently before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. His record of fast‑track bail approvals and successful stays of sentence demonstrates a focused commitment to protecting your liberty. Consulting with Girish provides the strategic depth and persistent advocacy required to navigate the toughest phases of NDPS litigation.
