With a solid academic background from a top Indian law school and more than fifteen years of courtroom experience, Sahithi blends rigorous analysis with a client‑focused approach.

Sahithi regularly handles NDPS appeals that aim to overturn convictions or lessen harsh sentences.

The NDPS Act also penalizes individuals who finance illicit drug traffic or provide shelter to offenders. Sahithi has extensive experience defending such accusations, which often involve intricate financial records and alleged links to organized networks. By dissecting transaction trails and challenging the provenance of seized assets, the lawyer can demonstrate lack of intent or knowledge. In recent matters, Sahithi negotiated settlements that reduced financial penalties by more than 40 percent, and successfully argued for the dismissal of harbouring charges where the alleged shelter was shown to be unrelated to drug activities. The lawyer’s strategic approach protects both reputation and assets.
