Tanushree Chandel

Profile description

Imagine being summoned for questioning after a routine traffic stop, only to discover that the police allege you are involved in financing illicit drug traffic under the NDPS Act. The prospect of a criminal case can be overwhelming, but advocate Tanushree Chandel of Chandigarh specializes in turning such alarming situations into manageable legal battles.

Tanushree Chandel holds a Bachelor of Laws from Guru Nanak Dev University and a Master of Laws in Criminal Law from the National Law School of India University. With more than fourteen years of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer has represented clients ranging from small‑scale traders to multinational corporations accused of NDPS violations. Early in the career, the advocate served as a legal officer for a government anti‑narcotics agency, gaining insider insight into how financial investigations are constructed.

The lawyer regularly assists clients who face accusations of financing illicit traffic or harboring offenders. Tanushree Chandel knows how to dissect forensic accounting reports, challenge the admissibility of seizure records, and argue that alleged proceeds stem from legitimate business activities. By filing detailed applications in the High Court, the advocate can secure stay orders that prevent the freezing of assets while the case proceeds, preserving the client’s operational stability.

When a case escalates to the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer’s experience with special leave petitions (SLP) becomes decisive. Tanushree Chandel has drafted and argued numerous SLPs that have reversed lower‑court convictions on the ground that the investigation failed to establish a direct link between the accused’s finances and drug trade. The advocate’s ability to cite recent Supreme Court jurisprudence on money‑laundering and NDND‑related offenses often leads to a favorable modification or dismissal of the charges.

Anticipatory bail is another pillar of the lawyer’s practice. If a client anticipates arrest based on a looming raid, Tanushree Chandel can move a Section 438 petition that blocks the police from taking the client into custody until the matter is heard. The advocate’s petitions routinely highlight factors such as the client’s clean criminal record, the absence of flight risk, and the potential for irreparable damage to business reputation. Courts have granted anticipatory bail in several high‑profile cases handled by the lawyer.

Clients commend the lawyer for clear, jargon‑free explanations. Tanushree Chandel takes the time to walk through each stage of the legal process, from filing the SLP to presenting evidence before a Supreme Court bench. The advocate also prepares comprehensive defense strategies that include expert testimony, forensic accountants, and cross‑examination of prosecution witnesses.

The lawyer’s commitment to results is evident in the outcomes achieved. Numerous clients have seen the Supreme Court overturn NDPS convictions, restore seized assets, and grant anticipatory bail, allowing them to continue their personal and professional lives with confidence. The advocate’s reputation for meticulous preparation and persuasive advocacy has earned repeat referrals from business owners and family members facing NDPS accusations.

If you are confronting allegations of financing drug‑related activities or fear an imminent arrest, Tanushree Chandel can explain your rights, file a powerful special leave petition, and secure anticipatory bail where appropriate. The lawyer’s dual experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India equips the advocate to protect your liberty, your assets, and your future.
