Advocate Rohit Dandriyal offers specialized legal representation in cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, which enforces stringent measures against the production, possession, sale, transportation, and consumption of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in India. The NDPS Act categorizes substances by quantity—small and commercial—and imposes progressively stricter penalties for larger quantities. Our firm’s expertise in NDPS law and our deep understanding of its procedural nuances enable us to offer our clients effective legal guidance and representation across various Delhi and NCR courts.
Legal Framework and the Role of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is tasked with enforcing the NDPS Act, handling investigations, seizures, and prosecutions for drug-related cases. The NCB presents its findings to Special Sessions Courts designated for NDPS cases. Our firm ensures strict procedural compliance to defend clients effectively, leveraging any procedural lapses for favorable outcomes, particularly in bail hearings.
NDPS Case Proceedings
- Pre-Trial Investigation: NCB initiates cases with comprehensive investigations, which involve seizures, arrests, and the preparation of detailed police reports. For offences involving commercial quantities, the NCB must complete its report within 180 days, while smaller cases require a 60-day timeline.
- Trial Phase: The submission of the police report triggers the formal trial process in the Sessions Court, where we provide skilled representation.
Bail Procedures and Legal Relief
The NDPS Act includes provisions for bail, even under challenging conditions like Section 37, which limits bail options for offences involving commercial quantities. Our firm offers adept support in filing both anticipatory and regular bail applications, ensuring that clients have a strong representation from the onset.
- Anticipatory Bail: Available for individuals who foresee prosecution, with applications initiated in the Sessions Court and appeal options up to the Supreme Court.
- Regular Bail: Available for those already in custody, with escalation routes through higher courts if initial applications are denied.
Comprehensive Legal Services Under the NDPS Act
Our firm offers a wide range of services for individuals and entities facing NDPS charges:
- Representation in NDPS Cases: Defense and advocacy throughout all stages of NDPS cases.
- Specialized Bail Assistance: Support for both anticipatory and regular bail applications under the restrictive provisions of the NDPS Act.
- Classification Guidance: Expert counsel on quantity classifications as outlined in government tables, crucial for understanding the severity of charges.
