Ronav Chandrakar

Profile description

Imagine being arrested on suspicion of involvement in a narcotics network, only to discover that the evidence against you is shaky and the charge sheet contains procedural gaps. Ronav Chandrakar steps in at that critical moment to protect your right to a fair trial. Specialising in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer concentrates on NDPS matters where the primary goal is to halt the criminal process before it proceeds to a damaging verdict.

Ronav Chandrakar regularly assists clients by filing NDPS Proceedings Quashing petitions. The lawyer scrutinises every document filed by the prosecution, looks for violations of the statutory time limits, missing signatures, or lack of proper jurisdiction. When such defects are identified, a petition is presented to the High Court seeking an absolute dismissal of the case. The lawyer also prepares detailed annexures that compare the present case with precedent‑setting judgments of the Supreme Court, ensuring that the petition carries persuasive authority. In many instances the High Court has entirely set aside the proceedings, saving the accused from the heavy burden of a prolonged trial.

A second pillar of the practice is defending against conspiracy and abetment allegations under the NDPS Act. Ronav Chandrakar knows how the law distinguishes between a principal offender and a person merely present at a location. The lawyer conducts independent investigations, secures expert testimony on the chain‑of‑possession of seized substances, and argues that the client’s actions do not meet the legal threshold for conspiracy. By presenting alibi evidence, financial records and communications, the defence often convinces the court that the client was not part of a coordinated illegal plan. Successful outcomes include complete acquittal or reduction of charges to lesser offences, which dramatically lowers the potential penalty.

When a client has already been convicted but believes the sentence is disproportionate or the appeal process is delayed, Ronav Chandrakar can file a Suspension of Sentence Pending Appeal petition. The lawyer prepares a comprehensive memorandum that highlights the severity of the punishment relative to the quantity involved, the client’s clean record and the possibility of irreversible hardship if the sentence is enforced before the appeal is heard. The petitions are directed to the High Court, and, if required, to the Supreme Court of India for urgent interim relief. Courts have frequently stayed the execution of the sentence, allowing the convicted person to remain free while the appellate bench reviews the merits of the case.

Over fifteen years of dedicated practice, Ronav Chandrakar has earned recognition for meticulous preparation and strategic acumen. The lawyer graduated with distinction from a premier law school and later completed a fellowship in criminal defence focusing on drug‑related offences. Clients commend the clear communication, prompt filing of all necessary documents and the confidence that comes from knowing a seasoned advocate is handling the case. Notable achievements include a series of landmark quashing orders, high‑profile acquittals in conspiracy trials, and successful suspension of death‑penalty sentences that were later reduced by the Supreme Court.

If you are confronting NDPS charges, you deserve a defence that attacks the case from every legal angle. Ronav Chandrakar can explain the options available, file the appropriate petitions and fight for your liberty in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The focus is on dismantling weak prosecution material, protecting your reputation and ensuring that any punishment is fair and proportionate. Arrange a confidential meeting to discuss the specifics of your situation and take the first step toward a robust defence.
