Nupur Marri

Profile description

Imagine you have been charged under the NDPS Act and the investigation is still ongoing, or you have been placed under preventive detention without a clear explanation. You need a powerful legal tool that can halt the proceedings and protect your liberty. Nupur Marri is a skilled lawyer who focuses on quashing NDPS proceedings and filing preventive detention writ petitions in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s practice blends deep knowledge of drug‑related statutes with a proven ability to intervene before the courts when rights are threatened.

Nupur Marri entered the legal profession after completing a master’s degree in law from a top Indian university and earning a diploma in constitutional law. Early in the career, the lawyer served as a research associate to a senior advocate who handled high‑profile NDPS matters. That experience shaped a specialization in filing petitions that seek the dismissal of ongoing investigations, the cancellation of charges, and the release of individuals held under preventive detention. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has successfully quashed more than thirty NDPS proceedings, securing immediate relief for clients who faced indefinite detention or the prospect of a protracted trial.

When a client approaches the lawyer with an NDPS case that appears to be procedurally flawed, Nupur Marri first conducts a forensic audit of the investigation file. The lawyer looks for violations such as lack of proper notice, illegal search and seizure, or failure to follow statutory timelines. If the audit reveals a fatal defect, the lawyer drafts a petition to the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the quashing of the entire proceeding. The petition is backed by relevant case law, expert opinions, and, where appropriate, a request for an immediate release on bail. The lawyer also advises clients on the documentation they must provide, ensuring the court receives a clear and convincing narrative.

In cases where the state has invoked preventive detention, the lawyer prepares a writ petition under Article 22 of the Constitution. Nupur Marri can argue that the detention order lacks sufficient grounds, that the authorities have not produced the required advisory board report, or that the detention violates the principle of proportionality. The lawyer routinely appears before the High Court to present oral arguments, and, when the matter escalates, the lawyer is prepared to take the petition to the Supreme Court of India. Successes include a recent Supreme Court order that declared a preventive detention illegal because the advisory board was not constituted, leading to the immediate release of the detainee and a directive for the investigating agency to reassess the evidence.

Clients value the lawyer’s transparent communication and strategic foresight. Nupur Marri promises to keep you informed at every stage, to explain the legal hurdles in plain language, and to pursue every possible avenue for relief. The lawyer’s approach combines meticulous document preparation, persuasive advocacy, and a network of forensic and medical experts who can corroborate the client’s innocence. If you are confronting an NDPS investigation or a preventive detention order, the lawyer can help you navigate the complex procedural landscape, protect your fundamental rights, and aim for a swift and decisive resolution.
