Yamini Kisku

Profile description

If you have been charged with conspiracy or abetment under the NDPS Act, the accusation can carry severe penalties and may even trigger a preventive detention order. Yamini Kisku specialises in defending such charges and in filing writ petitions that challenge unlawful detention before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Yamini Kisku brings over fourteen years of criminal defence experience. The advocate earned a law degree from Panjab University and later completed a master’s in international criminal law at the University of Delhi. A stint as a junior advocate in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana provided front‑line exposure to complex NDPS investigations, while a subsequent role with the Public Interest Litigation Centre sharpened skills in constitutional remedies.

The lawyer regularly assists clients accused of NDPS conspiracy and abetment by scrutinising the prosecution’s evidence for gaps, coerced statements, and unlawful searches. Yamini Kisku can file comprehensive replies that question the validity of seized material and highlight any violations of the right to silence. The advocate also prepares robust cross‑examination strategies, enlists forensic experts to dispute chemical analyses, and drafts alternative narratives that show the accused’s lack of intent.

When authorities resort to preventive detention, Yamini Kisku can move quickly to file a writ petition under Article 22 of the Constitution. The lawyer has successfully argued before the Punjab and Haryana High Court that detention must be grounded in concrete, lawful evidence and that the procedural safeguards of the NDPS Act have been ignored. In cases that reach the Supreme Court of India, the advocate frames the argument around fundamental rights and the proportionality of the state’s action.

Operating in both the High Court at Chandigarh and the apex court, Yamini Kisku understands the procedural timelines and filing formats required for each jurisdiction. The advocate coordinates with senior counsel, prepares detailed annexures, and ensures that every petition meets the exact standards of the respective bench. This dual‑court competence lets the lawyer preserve the strongest arguments for a possible Supreme Court review while securing immediate relief at the High Court level.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s calm, analytical approach during high‑stress interrogations and hearings. Former clients have praised Yamini Kisku for detailed case briefings, prompt responses to queries, and a transparent discussion of fees and possible outcomes. Success stories include a recent acquittal where the High Court dismissed an abetment charge after the lawyer demonstrated that the alleged conspirators had no prior contact, and a preventive detention stay that was granted by the Supreme Court on the ground of procedural lapse.

Yamini Kisku’s practice has been recognised by the Bar Association of Chandigarh with an award for excellence in constitutional defence. The advocate also contributes articles on NDPS jurisprudence to leading legal journals and mentors junior lawyers on handling complex criminal matters.

The lawyer remains committed to staying current with evolving NDPS jurisprudence, regularly attending seminars on forensic science and financial tracking to strengthen defence tactics. By integrating new investigative techniques with solid constitutional arguments, Yamini Kisku aims to protect clients from unjust convictions and to set precedents that reinforce the rule of law.
