Profile description

If you are suddenly detained under the NDPS Act and fear that the police may file a preventive detention order before you even see a courtroom, you need immediate legal protection. Senthilkumar Dhanasekaran is an advocate who specializes in anticipatory bail and preventive detention writ petitions, operating exclusively before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh.

Anticipatory bail is a powerful tool that can secure your liberty before an arrest is made. Senthilkumar Dhanasekaran can help by filing a petition that demonstrates the absence of flight risk, the willingness to cooperate with investigators, and the lack of any criminal conspiracy. The lawyer regularly assists clients in presenting affidavits, gathering character certificates, and outlining factual scenarios that satisfy the High Court’s criteria for grant of anticipatory bail.

Preventive detention writ petitions are filed when authorities intend to keep a person in custody without formal charges, citing security concerns. Senthilkumar Dhanasekaran can explain the legal thresholds and can help you contest such actions by preparing a robust writ that questions the necessity and proportionality of the detention. The lawyer’s approach includes scrutinising the police report, challenging the procedural basis of the order, and presenting evidence that the detention undermines fundamental rights.

Graduating from a distinguished law college and completing the All India Bar Examination, Senthilkumar Dhanasekaran joined a leading chamber that handled high‑profile drug cases. Over the last nine years, the lawyer has successfully secured anticipatory bail for more than twenty clients and has obtained the release of several individuals through preventive detention writs.
