Hemesh Krishnamurthy

Profile description

Imagine you have just been arrested under the NDPS Act and are awaiting trial in Chandigarh. You are worried about being detained without bail and uncertain how the appeals process works. Hemesh Krishnamurthy is an experienced lawyer who regularly assists clients in securing bail, filing anticipatory bail applications, and handling NDPS appeals in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Hemesh Krishnamurthy’s practice combines two crucial areas: NDPS bail and NDPS appeals. Over fifteen years of courtroom exposure, the lawyer has developed a nuanced understanding of the high‑court’s bail jurisprudence and the Supreme Court’s approach to appellate review. The lawyer knows which factual and legal arguments most effectively persuade judges to grant liberty while safeguarding the public interest.

When a client seeks bail, the lawyer conducts a rapid assessment of the case facts, the severity of the alleged offense, and the potential for flight risk. By drafting a focused bail petition that emphasizes the client’s cooperation, lack of prior convictions, and willingness to comply with conditions, the lawyer often secures immediate release. In anticipatory bail matters, the lawyer files applications pre‑emptively, arguing that the client faces credible threats of wrongful arrest. These applications have repeatedly been upheld, allowing clients to continue their lives without interruption.

If bail is denied or an adverse order is issued, Hemesh Krishnamurthy moves swiftly to file appeals. The lawyer prepares comprehensive appellate briefs that highlight legal errors, misapplication of NDPS provisions, and procedural lapses. By presenting compelling precedent from the Supreme Court, the lawyer has succeeded in overturning convictions, reducing sentences, and obtaining stays on execution of judgments. The lawyer’s appeals strategy often involves a parallel approach: filing a petition in the high court while simultaneously seeking relief from the Supreme Court, ensuring the client enjoys the broadest protection available.

The lawyer’s communication style is clear and client‑focused. Hemesh Krishnamurthy explains each step of the bail or appeal process, outlines realistic timelines, and sets expectations about possible outcomes. By keeping clients informed, the lawyer reduces anxiety and fosters confidence in the legal strategy.

In addition to courtroom work, the lawyer maintains an active presence in legal seminars on NDPS reforms and contributes articles that dissect recent high‑court and Supreme Court judgments. This ongoing scholarship equips the lawyer with cutting‑edge arguments that resonate with judges.

If you are confronting NDPS charges and need immediate relief from detention or wish to challenge an adverse judgment, Hemesh Krishnamurthy offers the expertise required to navigate both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s proven record in bail, anticipatory bail, and appeals aims to protect your liberty and secure the best possible legal outcome.
