Prerna Dhruw

Profile description

Imagine receiving a summons that compels you to appear before the court for an alleged offence under the narcotics legislation, even though you believe the matter is unfounded. Prerna Dhruw, a dedicated advocate based in Chandigarh, focuses on quashing summoning orders and NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) proceedings. The lawyer works regularly before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, employing a strategic blend of legal analysis and courtroom skill.

Prerna Dhruw can help anyone who feels a summons was issued without proper cause or where the underlying investigation is weak. The advocate examines the summons for procedural lapses, such as lack of jurisdiction or failure to disclose essential facts. By filing a petition under Article 226, the lawyer argues that the summoning order violates constitutional safeguards or statutory requirements, seeking its dismissal. This approach prevents unnecessary appearances, protects personal liberty, and reduces the stress associated with criminal proceedings.

NDPS cases often involve complex evidence, secretive investigations, and harsh penalties. When a client is accused of possession, trafficking, or consumption, Prerna Dhruw investigates the chain of custody, the legitimacy of the search, and the accuracy of laboratory reports. The advocate identifies inconsistencies, such as improper sampling or violations of the right to be heard, and prepares a comprehensive petition to quash the entire proceeding. Successful quashing safeguards clients from long imprisonment, hefty fines, and the social stigma attached to narcotics allegations.

The lawyer’s methodology centres on meticulous document review, expert consultations, and robust oral arguments. Prerna Dhruw keeps clients informed about case developments, explains the legal standards for quashing, and sets realistic expectations for timelines and outcomes. The advocate’s reputation includes numerous instances where summoning orders were struck down and NDPS prosecutions were dismissed, establishing a strong precedent for future cases.

If you have been served with a summons that seems unjust or face NDPS allegations that could destroy your future, Prerna Dhruw offers the expertise needed to challenge those actions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The advocate’s goal is to secure a decisive quash, allowing you to focus on rebuilding your life without the shadow of ongoing criminal litigation.
