Mandar Kohli

Profile description

When an NDPS case reaches the Supreme Court, the stakes are at their highest and a Special Leave Petition can become the decisive factor. Mandar Kohli is the advocate who specialises in filing and arguing these petitions for clients facing severe narcotics charges.

Kohli’s practice centres on Special Leave Petitions in NDPS matters. The lawyer regularly assists individuals whose convictions in lower courts appear to rest on misinterpretation of the NDPS Act, procedural errors, or evidential gaps. By focusing on the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to correct legal oversights, Kohli constructs petitions that spotlight the precise points where the law was applied incorrectly.

The process begins with a detailed case review. Kohli asks the client to provide arrest records, trial transcripts, and any forensic reports. From these documents, the advocate identifies any deviation from established NDPS jurisprudence, such as improper reliance on uncross‑examined statements or failure to adhere to the burden of proof standards. The lawyer then drafts a Special Leave Petition that combines rigorous legal reasoning with a clear narrative, making it easier for the Supreme Court justices to see the need for intervention.

Kohli’s track record includes several notable successes. In one case, the lawyer highlighted that the lower court had ignored a crucial exemption clause in the NDPS Act, leading the Supreme Court to set aside the conviction and order a retrial. In another matter, Kohli exposed that key evidence had been obtained without a valid warrant, prompting the apex court to quash the charges entirely. These outcomes reflect the advocate’s ability to translate technical legal arguments into compelling Supreme Court decisions.

Educationally, Kohli holds a Master of Laws in Criminal Law and completed a fellowship focused on drug‑related legislation. Over fifteen years of practice at the Chandigarh bar have given the lawyer deep familiarity with both the procedural nuances of Supreme Court filings and the substantive aspects of NDPS law. Kohli also contributes articles to legal journals, discussing evolving trends in drug legislation and Supreme Court jurisprudence.

Clients appreciate Kohli’s transparent communication style. The advocate explains the likelihood of success, the expected timeline for a Supreme Court hearing, and the costs involved. Regular updates are provided, and any new developments in the case are promptly incorporated into the petition strategy. Kohli’s fee structure is disclosed up front, ensuring that clients are never surprised by hidden charges.

When you need a skilled lawyer to prepare a Special Leave Petition for an NDPS case before the Supreme Court of India, Mandar Kohli offers the expertise, strategic insight, and courtroom experience required to challenge adverse rulings and protect your future.
