When a client approaches Nandita Kalita, the lawyer begins by gathering the complete arrest record, the charge sheet, and any medical or personal documents that may support a bail or detention challenge.

If the client is subject to preventive detention, Nandita Kalita prepares a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, contending that the detention order violates statutory safeguards. The lawyer brings forward medical reports, character references, and evidence of procedural lapses to demonstrate that the detention is unwarranted.

Clients often express relief after hearing how Nandita Kalita can expedite the bail process and challenge detention. The lawyer provides clear explanations of each filing stage, the likely timeline, and the strategic considerations that influence the court’s decision.
