Kirti Prasad

Profile description

If a court has imposed a severe NDPS sentence and you have already filed an appeal, you may wish to stop the sentence from taking effect while the higher court reviews the case. Kirti Prasad, a Chandigarh‑based lawyer, specializes in obtaining suspension of NDPS sentences pending appeal in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By securing a stay on the execution of the sentence, the lawyer helps clients avoid immediate imprisonment, allowing them to remain with their families and continue working while the appellate process unfolds.

Kirti Prasad earned a law degree from Panjab University and later completed a master’s in criminal jurisprudence at the National Law University, Jodhpur. With over ten years of experience, the lawyer has become proficient in navigating the procedural requirements for filing suspension petitions. The lawyer routinely examines the trial record, identifies procedural irregularities, and prepares detailed affidavits that illustrate why a stay is essential to preserve the appellant’s rights and livelihood.

The lawyer regularly assists clients in presenting arguments that the sentence is disproportionately harsh, that the evidence is insufficient, or that the conviction rests on a misapplication of the NDPS Act. By highlighting these issues, Kirti Prasad can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to grant a temporary suspension, ensuring that the appellant does not suffer immediate hardship. The lawyer’s approach also includes coordinating with bail counsel and gathering supporting documents from employers or family members to strengthen the petition.

Clients consistently report that the lawyer’s clear communication and diligent follow‑up make the suspension process less stressful. Several cases have resulted in the High Court granting a suspension of sentence, which allowed the appellant to remain out of custody while the appeal was heard. In many instances, the subsequent appeal led to a partial or full reduction of the original penalty, confirming the value of securing a stay early in the proceedings.

For those who have filed an appeal against an NDPS conviction and need the sentence to be halted, Kirti Prasad can help you obtain a suspension pending the outcome of the appellate review. The lawyer’s focus on protecting individual liberty and mitigating the immediate impact of a harsh sentence makes this service essential for anyone navigating the complexities of NDPS litigation. A comprehensive consultation will assess the merits of your case, outline the suspension petition process, and set realistic expectations for the upcoming appeal.
