Profile description

When a First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged against you, the first line of defence may be to seek its quashment. In parallel, if you face charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, a specialised defence is essential. Nishant Dahiya focuses on FIR Quashing and NDPS Defence, representing clients before the Punjab and Haryana High Court with a track record of securing favorable outcomes.

Nishant Dahiya has more than a decade of experience in criminal law, handling cases that require swift and decisive action. The lawyer regularly assists clients by examining the FIR for procedural defects, lack of jurisdiction, or insufficient evidence. By crafting a precise petition that highlights these weaknesses, Nishant Dahiya can persuade the High Court to set aside the FIR, thereby preventing the case from progressing to trial.

In NDPS matters, the lawyer combines deep statutory knowledge with practical courtroom tactics. Nishant Dahiya evaluates the nature of the alleged substance, the manner of possession, and the procedural history of the investigation. The lawyer then builds a defence that may involve challenging the legality of the search, contesting the quantification of the narcotics, or arguing for a lesser charge based on the facts. This strategic approach often leads to reductions in the severity of penalties or even complete acquittal.

The lawyer’s process begins with a thorough review of the FIR and any accompanying documents. Nishant Dahiya meets with the client to gather all relevant information, then prepares a comprehensive quashment petition that cites case law and statutory provisions. For NDPS Defence, the lawyer prepares a defence strategy that includes forensic analysis, expert testimony, and detailed cross‑examination plans. Throughout, the lawyer keeps the client informed about each stage, from filing the petition to attending hearings before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Clients who have retained Nishant Dahiya frequently commend the lawyer’s clear communication and determination. The lawyer can explain the likelihood of success, the potential impact of a quashed FIR on future proceedings, and the options available under the NDPS Act.
