If you have been taken into custody and believe the arrest was unlawful, you need swift legal action to protect your liberty. Shreyas Mehta is a seasoned criminal lawyer who regularly assists clients facing arrest‑related challenges in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. With a focus on criminal writ petitions, the lawyer examines the facts, the statutory provisions, and any procedural lapses that may render the detention invalid. By filing the appropriate writ, the lawyer can seek immediate release, suspension of the investigation, or other relief that safeguards the client’s rights while the case proceeds. Clients who feel trapped by a sudden police action often find that a well‑crafted writ can change the entire trajectory of the matter.

Beyond writ petitions, Shreyas Mehta has built a reputation for defending individuals charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

The lawyer combines rigorous case analysis with strategic advocacy to challenge unlawful searches, improper seizure of narcotics, and any violation of constitutional safeguards. By questioning the credibility of prosecution witnesses and highlighting procedural defects, the lawyer has secured acquittals, reduced sentences, and negotiated favorable settlements for a diverse client base. The lawyer’s NDPS Defence practice is anchored in meticulous fact‑finding and a deep knowledge of both domestic and international drug‑control jurisprudence.

The approach taken by Shreyas Mehta emphasizes clear communication and realistic expectations. The lawyer begins each engagement by listening to the client’s story, reviewing the arrest report, and outlining the possible remedies under the High Court’s jurisdiction. Whether preparing a habeas corpus petition, a bail‑related writ of mandamus, or an NDPS defence brief, the lawyer drafts precise arguments supported by case law and statutory authority. The lawyer also coordinates with forensic experts, investigators, and private counsel to build a comprehensive defence record. Regular updates keep the client informed about filing deadlines, court appearances, and the status of any interim relief. This transparent workflow helps reduce the anxiety that typically accompanies criminal proceedings.

Clients repeatedly commend the lawyer for tenacity, professionalism, and a results‑oriented mindset. In recent years, Shreyas Mehta has successfully obtained release for several individuals who were detained on suspicion of drug possession, often within days of filing the writ.
