Diya Kujur

Profile description

If you have been arrested under the NDPS Act and the investigation appears to rest on shaky evidence or procedural irregularities, the immediate priority is to explore whether the charge can be quashed before it proceeds to a full trial.

Diya Kujur has dedicated her practice to defending individuals caught in such circumstances. With nine years of intensive experience before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Diya blends a thorough grasp of narcotics legislation with sharp courtroom advocacy. A graduate of Guru Nanak Dev University’s law faculty and a certified specialist in drug‑related offences, Diya stays current on amendments to the NDPS Act, Supreme Court rulings on bail and quash petitions, and evolving standards of evidence in drug‑seizure cases.

When a client approaches Diya, the advocate initiates a meticulous review of the seizure report, chain‑of‑custody records, and any laboratory analysis. By identifying gaps—such as lack of proper sampling, delayed testing, or violation of the accused’s right to counsel—Diya can argue that the High Court should intervene to quash the proceeding under Section 482 of the CrPC. The lawyer regularly assists clients in drafting comprehensive quash applications that cite relevant case law and statutory provisions, emphasizing that the prosecution’s case fails to meet the legal threshold for continuation.

Diya’s courtroom record includes successful quashing of NDND‑related accusations where the police failed to obtain a valid warrant, where the seized substance was later determined to be a hoax, and where the investigation ignored statutory timelines. In one notable verdict, the High Court dismissed charges against a small‑scale trader after Diya highlighted that the forensic lab had not followed standard operating procedures, leading to unreliable test results. Clients often commend Diya’s ability to translate complex procedural nuances into clear, actionable advice.

Beyond fighting existing charges, Diya advises entrepreneurs, transport operators, and small businesses on compliance with the NDPS Act. The lawyer conducts risk assessments, helps draft internal checks for substance handling, and trains staff to recognize and avoid inadvertent violations. Preventive counsel reduces the likelihood of future raids and quash petitions, protecting both reputation and livelihood.

Diya also works closely with forensic chemists and independent testing agencies to obtain unbiased reports that can undermine the prosecution’s evidence. By presenting expert testimony that challenges the authenticity or chain‑of‑custody of seized material, the advocate strengthens the quash petition and often compels the High Court to stay the proceedings. This strategic use of expert collaboration distinguishes Diya’s practice in the high‑stakes arena of drug‑related litigation.

Clients repeatedly note Diya’s responsiveness, clear communication, and confidence‑inspiring presence in the courtroom. Reviews highlight the lawyer’s calm demeanor under pressure, thorough preparation of each filing, and the peace of mind that comes from having a specialist who understands the intricacies of NDPS law. With a success rate that consistently beats regional averages, Diya Kujur offers a reliable path to having unjust drug charges dismissed, allowing clients to move forward with their lives.

Diya remains committed to continuous learning, attending national seminars on narcotics law and regularly publishing articles that dissect recent judgments. This dedication ensures that every client benefits from the most current legal strategies available in the High Court.
