Kirti Bajpai

Profile description

Imagine being detained without clear justification, or facing charges for alleged drug offenses or a sexual crime that could disrupt your entire future. In those moments, a competent advocate who understands both high‑court procedures and constitutional safeguards can make a decisive difference. Kirti Bajpai is a committed lawyer practicing in Chandigarh who regularly assists clients before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India, handling habeas corpus petitions, NDPS defences and sexual offence cases with a focus on protecting liberty and dignity.

A habeas corpus petition challenges unlawful detention and compels the authority to justify the legal basis for holding a person. Kirti Bajpai examines the arrest order, checks for compliance with procedural safeguards, and identifies any violation of constitutional rights such as the right to personal liberty. The lawyer then drafts a concise petition that cites relevant case law from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, illustrating how the detention fails to meet statutory requirements. By presenting a clear argument before the bench, the lawyer often secures immediate release or orders the authority to rectify the procedural defect.

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act imposes stringent penalties, but a skilled lawyer can challenge both the evidential foundation and the procedural integrity of the case. Kirti Bajpai reviews seizure documents, verifies chain‑of‑custody records, and assesses whether the alleged quantity exceeds the threshold for a serious offence. The lawyer can argue that the substances were obtained without the client’s knowledge or that the investigation breached mandatory safeguards, such as proper sampling and testing protocols. By presenting expert testimony and referencing Supreme Court rulings on proportionality, the lawyer has secured acquittals or substantial reductions in sentences for numerous clients.

Defending a client accused of a sexual offence demands a careful balance between sensitivity to the alleged victim and rigorous scrutiny of the prosecution’s evidence. Kirti Bajpai examines the complainant’s statement, verifies the timing of the alleged incident, and evaluates forensic reports for consistency. The lawyer can highlight procedural lapses such as failure to record a medical examination promptly, or the absence of corroborating witnesses, which weaken the prosecution’s case. By presenting an alternative narrative supported by phone records, eyewitness accounts, and expert analysis, the lawyer has obtained dismissals and favourable settlements in several high‑profile cases before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

When a lower‑court decision adversely affects personal liberty or imposes an excessive sentence, Kirti Bajpai does not hesitate to seek relief from the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer drafts a special leave petition that articulates the constitutional violations, such as infringement of the right to a speedy trial or disproportionate punishment under the NDNDPS provisions. By citing landmark Supreme Court judgments on habeas corpus, drug law proportionality, and the protection of victims’ rights, the lawyer builds a compelling case for reversal or modification. This higher‑court advocacy ensures that every avenue is explored to safeguard the client’s future.

Kirti Bajpai’s practice combines deep constitutional insight, meticulous case preparation, and a client‑focused philosophy that prioritises swift, just outcomes. The lawyer can explain the step‑by‑step process for filing a habeas corpus petition, outline defence strategies for NDPS and sexual offence charges, and navigate the complexities of Supreme Court appeals. By keeping the client informed at each stage and tailoring arguments to the unique facts, the lawyer strives to protect liberty, reputation and long‑term wellbeing. With a record of successful releases, acquittals and favourable Supreme Court rulings, the lawyer stands ready to defend the client’s rights across all assigned practice areas.
