Mitali Kashyap

Profile description

If you are facing charges under the NDPS Act for alleged involvement in a drug conspiracy, you need a lawyer who can challenge the prosecution from the very start and also protect you from premature arrest. Mitali Kashyap is an accomplished advocate in Chandigarh who specializes in quashing NDPS proceedings, defending conspiracy and abetment allegations, and securing anticipatory bail at both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Quashing NDPS proceedings involves attacking the legal foundation of the case before the High Court. Kashyap regularly assists clients by reviewing charge sheets, examining search and seizure records, and pinpointing procedural violations such as lack of proper authorization or misidentification of contraband. The advocate then files a comprehensive petition that argues the investigation is tainted and that continuing the trial would violate the client’s fundamental rights. By presenting clear evidence of error, the lawyer often obtains an order that dismisses the case outright.

Defending against conspiracy and abetment charges requires a nuanced understanding of how the NDPS Act defines participation. Kashyap can help clients by dissecting the prosecution’s theory of involvement, challenging the relevance of peripheral evidence, and demonstrating the lack of mens rea. The advocate often secures reductions in charges by showing that the accused’s actions do not meet the statutory threshold for active participation. In many cases, the High Court has accepted these arguments and altered the charge sheet to reflect a lesser culpability.

Anticipatory bail offers protection when arrest appears imminent. Kashyap regularly files applications that ask the court to order police not to detain the client until the matter is finally decided. The lawyer highlights factors such as the client’s clean record, the non‑violent nature of the alleged offense, and the risk of irreparable damage to reputation if arrested. By presenting a balanced view of public interest and personal liberty, the advocate often obtains bail orders that keep the client free to cooperate with the investigation.

When a High Court decision on NDPS matters is unfavorable, Kashyap can take the fight to the Supreme Court through a Special Leave Petition. The advocate prepares a succinct filing that highlights constitutional concerns, such as violation of the right to a fair trial, and cites recent Supreme Court precedents that favor leniency in drug‑related offenses. By articulating a compelling narrative, the lawyer increases the probability that the apex court will intervene and set aside the lower court’s order.

Arunachalam brings more than fourteen years of experience handling NDPS cases across both the High Court and the Supreme Court. The advocate has secured the quashing of over twenty investigations, reduced conspiracy charges in fifteen matters, and obtained anticipatory bail for numerous clients facing imminent arrest. In a recent Supreme Court appeal, Kashyap successfully argued that the penalty imposed for a minor possession offense was disproportionate, prompting the court to lower the sentence substantially. These achievements reflect a track record of protecting client rights and achieving favorable outcomes.

Choosing Mitali Kashyap means entrusting your NDPS defence to a lawyer who blends rigorous analysis with a compassionate approach. The advocate’s ability to coordinate High Court petitions, Supreme Court filings, and anticipatory bail applications ensures that every procedural avenue is explored. Clients often remark on the lawyer’s clear communication, swift action, and unwavering dedication to securing freedom. If you need a specialist who can challenge the prosecution, defend against conspiracy allegations, and obtain pre‑emptive bail, Kashyap’s expertise provides a reliable path toward protecting your future.
