Raktim Kisku

Profile description

Facing a conviction under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act can seem like a dead‑end, especially when the trial court’s judgment appears harsh or legally flawed. Raktim Kisku, an experienced lawyer practicing in Chandigarh, concentrates on filing Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court of India to challenge such NDPS decisions.

Raktim completed a law degree at a nationally recognized institution and later earned a postgraduate diploma in criminal law. After qualifying for practice, the lawyer joined a firm known for its focus on high‑court criminal reviews. Over the past fifteen years, Raktim has handled dozens of SLPs that involve complex statutory interpretation, evidentiary gaps, and procedural irregularities specific to NDPS cases.

The lawyer begins every SLP engagement by scrutinising the entire trial record, including the charge sheet, witness statements, and forensic reports. By identifying errors such as misapplication of the NDPS Act’s provisions, lack of proper chain‑of‑custody, or denial of the right to legal aid, Raktim can construct a petition that raises a substantial question of law warranting Supreme Court intervention.

Clients frequently note that Raktim communicates legal concepts in straightforward language, outlines the likely timeline, and prepares them for both written submissions and oral arguments. In recent filings, the lawyer secured the Supreme Court’s notice on several petitions, leading to the quashing of unjust sentences, reduction of imprisonments, and, in some instances, full acquittal on the basis of procedural miscarriage.

Staying current with the evolving jurisprudence on NDPS matters is central to Raktim’s practice. The lawyer regularly attends seminars hosted by the Supreme Court’s judicial academy, contributes articles to legal journals, and maintains a network of senior advocates who have argued landmark NDPS cases before the apex court. This exposure enables the lawyer to cite the most relevant precedents and frame arguments that resonate with the justices.

Beyond drafting the petition, Raktim assists clients in gathering supporting documents such as character references, rehabilitation certificates, and expert opinions on drug testing. The lawyer also coordinates with forensic specialists to challenge unreliable evidence, a tactic that often strengthens the petition’s claim of a miscarriage of justice.

The lawyer’s approach balances rigorous legal analysis with a compassionate understanding of the client’s personal circumstances. While no outcome can be guaranteed, Raktim’s track record shows that a meticulously prepared Special Leave Petition, filed by an adept lawyer, significantly improves the prospects of relief at the Supreme Court of India.

If you are confronting an NDPS conviction that feels unfair, reaching out to a specialist who regularly assists clients in filing SLPs before the apex court is a prudent first step. Raktim Kisku can evaluate the merits of your case, explain the procedural requirements, and pursue a strategic petition that aims to protect your rights and secure a more just outcome.

Raktim also guides clients through the strict filing window for a Special Leave Petition, which normally must be presented within 90 days of the High Court’s order. The lawyer ensures that all necessary annexures, affidavits, and supporting case law are compiled well before the deadline, minimizing the risk of dismissal on technical grounds. By combining timely action with persuasive advocacy, the lawyer strives to secure a meaningful review that can alter the course of the original conviction.
