Arjun Kurup

Profile description

Imagine being transferred to a distant jail far from family, or standing trial for a serious offence such as murder, attempt to murder, or a narcotics charge, and feeling uncertain about the legal road ahead. Arjun Kurup is the lawyer who can navigate these complex challenges in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.

Arjun Kurup’s practice includes handling transfer applications within a state. When a client is lodged in a prison that is far from their home or where they face health risks, the lawyer evaluates the factual and humanitarian grounds for relocation. By filing a petition that highlights proximity to family, medical facilities, and the benefits of maintaining social ties, the lawyer often secures a transfer order that eases the client’s hardship. The lawyer’s familiarity with the High Court’s procedural requirements makes the process efficient and effective.

In murder and attempt to murder defence, Arjun Kurup combines meticulous case analysis with strategic courtroom advocacy. The lawyer scrutinises the investigation report, challenges the admissibility of forensic evidence, and raises questions about motive, intent, and procedural compliance. By presenting alternate theories and highlighting inconsistencies, the lawyer seeks to create reasonable doubt in the eyes of the judges. The lawyer has successfully obtained acquittals and reduced sentences in several high‑profile cases, demonstrating a deep understanding of criminal law and evidentiary standards.

The National Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act presents its own set of challenges. Arjun Kurup approaches NDPS defence with a thorough grasp of the Act’s provisions and the courts’ interpretation of possession, quantity, and intent. The lawyer examines the chain of custody, challenges illegal searches, and argues for proportionality in sentencing. When the case escalates to the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer prepares detailed Supreme Court petitions that argue for constitutional safeguards and proper application of the NDPS provisions. This dual‑court experience ensures that the client’s case receives consistent, high‑level advocacy.

Over fifteen years of practice in Chandigarh have allowed Arjun Kurup to develop strong relationships with judges of both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. Clients commend the lawyer’s clear communication, regular updates, and unwavering commitment to protecting their rights. The lawyer’s strategic mindset, combined with an ability to simplify complex legal concepts, offers clients confidence throughout the trial and appeal stages.
