Kabir Chandrakar

Profile description

You have been charged under the NDPS Act and a lower court has ordered a continuation of the prosecution, while you also face a quash petition in a separate matter. Kabir Chandrakar brings together expertise in both NDPS proceedings and Supreme Court review petitions to protect your rights at every level of the judiciary.

Kabir Chandrakar graduated from the National Law School of India and later earned a doctorate in criminal jurisprudence. The lawyer spent eight years as a legal officer with the Department of Narcotics Control, gaining insider knowledge of NDPS investigations and prosecutions. After returning to practice, the lawyer has spent the past fifteen years defending clients in high‑stakes drug cases and filing review petitions before the Supreme Court.

The first practice focus is NDPS proceedings quashing. Kabir Chandrakar can explain why an FIR or charge sheet under the NDPS Act may be vulnerable to dismissal if it lacks proper jurisdiction, factual basis, or is tainted by procedural irregularities. The lawyer carefully reviews the seizure records, lab reports, and chain‑of‑custody documents. If any discrepancy is found, the lawyer drafts a petition to the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking a quash order on the ground of insufficient evidence or violation of statutory safeguards.

When the High Court’s decision is unfavorable, the lawyer does not stop there. Kabir Chandrakar regularly assists clients in filing a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India, seeking a review of the quash order or directly challenging the NDPS conviction. The lawyer’s experience includes several landmark judgments where the Supreme Court set aside harsh NDPS penalties and ordered the release of accused persons whose cases were built on weak prosecution.

The second practice area is Supreme Court review petitions in quashing cases. The lawyer takes meticulous note of any legal error, misinterpretation of statutes, or procedural lapse in the High Court’s judgment. Kabir Chandrakar then prepares a concise review petition that asks the Supreme Court to reconsider the order and grant a quash. Successful reviews have resulted in the reversal of unlawful arrests, the cancellation of bail denial, and the removal of prohibitory orders that restricted clients’ movement.

Clients often express relief after the lawyer secures a quash order, noting how it stops the perpetual threat of imprisonment and the social stigma attached to NDPS allegations. The lawyer also advises on compliance with law enforcement protocols to avoid future accusations, emphasizing the importance of legal awareness and proactive documentation.

If you are entangled in NDPS proceedings or need a Supreme Court review petition, Kabir Chandrakar can evaluate the merits, craft a precise petition, and advocate for you before both the High Court and the Supreme Court. The lawyer’s goal is to obtain a quash order that restores your freedom and safeguards your future.
