Darshan Kashyap regularly assists individuals who need urgent bail cancellation and a robust defence strategy to challenge the evidence and procedure used against them.

Darshan Kashyap earned his law degree from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, graduating with a specialization in criminal law. He later completed a diploma in Drug Law Enforcement at the National Institute of Legal Studies, gaining insight into investigative methods and forensic protocols. After five years as a junior advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, he joined a dedicated NDPS defence team, handling complex bail applications and trial defenses. Over the past twelve years, Darshan Kashyap has achieved bail cancellation in over sixty cases and secured acquittals in several high‑profile NDPS prosecutions.

His defence approach begins with a detailed review of the police report, seizure procedures, and laboratory analysis. Darshan Kashyap can help clients contest any irregularities, such as missing warrants, improper handling of samples, or violations of the right to counsel. He drafts bail petitions that combine statutory argument with personal circumstances, emphasizing factors like health, family responsibilities, or lack of prior convictions. In trial, he constructs a narrative that raises reasonable doubt about the quantity, intent, or source of the alleged narcotics, aiming for acquittal or reduced sentencing.

One notable case involved a client arrested for alleged possession of a large quantity of cannabis. Darshan Kashyap’s careful audit exposed a flaw in the chain‑of‑custody, leading the Punjab and Haryana High Court to cancel the bail denial and order the material returned for independent testing. In another matter, he secured bail for a first‑time offender accused under the NDPS Act by highlighting the client’s education and lack of criminal history, resulting in a conditional release that allowed the client to continue studies. These results reflect his ability to turn procedural gaps into decisive relief.
