Profile description

A sudden notice of prosecution under the NDPS Act can leave you wondering whether the case will ever reach a conclusion. Gitashree Velmurugan provides a clear path forward by focusing on the quashing of NDPS proceedings, a service that can terminate the process before a full trial begins. The lawyer operates in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, ensuring that every level of the judicial system is covered.

Quashing a proceeding requires demonstrating that the prosecution lacks a solid foundation, that the charge sheet is defective, or that jurisdictional errors exist. Gitashree Velmurugan regularly assists clients in preparing detailed petitions that expose such flaws. The lawyer’s familiarity with the High Court’s procedural nuances enables the filing of timely applications that often result in dismissal orders, sparing clients from the stress and expense of a prolonged trial.

When a petition is denied at the High Court level, the next recourse is to approach the Supreme Court. Gitashree Velmurugan can help by drafting Special Leave Petitions that argue the existence of a substantial miscarriage of justice. By citing relevant Supreme Court precedent and emphasizing constitutional violations, the lawyer strives to secure the Court’s intervention and achieve a final quash of the proceedings.

Each case begins with an in‑depth consultation where the lawyer examines the investigation file, evaluates the strength of the evidence, and identifies procedural lapses. Gitashree Velmurugan then crafts a strategy that may involve filing interim applications, seeking stays of arrest, or directly moving for dismissal. The lawyer’s approach balances assertive advocacy with a pragmatic assessment of the client’s circumstances, aiming for the quickest resolution possible.

The lawyer holds a Master’s degree in Criminal Law from a premier institution and has spent more than twelve years representing clients in narcotics matters. Over that period, Gitashree Velmurugan has secured dismissals for a wide spectrum of cases, from minor possession allegations to large‑scale trafficking investigations.
