About High-Stakes Criminal Defense

What Drives Me

I see criminal defense as more than just arguing in court. For me, it’s about standing up for people when the system feels stacked against them. My guiding rule is simple: bail should be the norm, jail the rare exception. That’s how I try to protect personal liberty, even when the stakes are sky-high.

Experience in Tough Cases

I mostly work on cases where the consequences are serious and the legal issues are complicated. I’ve led defenses in tough white-collar matters, especially those under the PMLA. For instance, the marathon 'Coal Matter' trial taught me a lot about how money laundering defense strategies can actually change the outcome. I stay updated because the law in this area keeps shifting, sometimes overnight.

In anti-corruption and bribery cases, I don’t just look for loopholes. I focus on what the law really requires from the prosecution - like proving both demand and voluntary acceptance, not just showing recovered cash. Securing bail in these cases has become tougher, and I’m honest about that with clients.

How I Work

I started in the district courts, moved up to the Supreme Court, and that journey lets me see how cases really move through the system. I lead arguments and set the strategy, but this is never a solo gig. I work closely with my team, and my briefing counsels feel more like family than colleagues. That’s how we prep for complex criminal case representation.

Where I Practice

My chambers are in Delhi, but I argue cases across India - from Supreme Court to High Courts in Ranchi, Bangalore, Bilaspur, Chandigarh, and more. No matter where the case is, I bring the same approach.
