Soumendra Chadha

Profile description

When a lower court issues a quashing order that unexpectedly nullifies a critical legal right, the impact can be devastating. Soumendra Chadha specializes in overturning such orders through Special Leave Petitions, and also tackles the complex task of quashing NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) proceedings, representing clients before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

A Special Leave Petition against a quashing order begins with a meticulous review of the judgment that was set aside.

By drafting a concise yet powerful petition, the lawyer seeks the Supreme Court’s permission to be heard on the merits. The lawyer’s experience includes several landmark decisions where the Supreme Court reinstated the original order, restoring clients’ rights and preventing irreversible loss.

NDPS proceedings are among the most serious criminal matters in India, often involving severe penalties and intense public scrutiny.

The lawyer conducts an exhaustive evidentiary analysis, highlighting gaps such as improper seizure, lack of expert testimony, or violations of statutory safeguards. By presenting these deficiencies before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer aims to have the proceedings dismissed before a full trial, sparing the client from protracted litigation and harsh consequences.
