Over fourteen years of practice, the advocate has drafted and argued more than two hundred SLPs, achieving relief for clients ranging from financial fraud defendants to those charged under the stringent provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The lawyer’s experience includes briefing senior counsel, coordinating with forensic experts, and presenting oral arguments that distil complex factual matrices into compelling legal narratives before the nation’s highest bench. The lawyer also served as a research associate for the Supreme Court Bar Association, contributing to policy papers on criminal procedure reforms.

In the realm of Supreme Court criminal review petitions, Chandrakar regularly assists clients who claim miscarriage of justice, violation of procedural safeguards, or gross errors in the application of law.

The track record includes several landmark successes that have been cited in subsequent Supreme Court rulings. Chandrakar’s petition challenging an erroneous application of Section 326 of the IPC resulted in a landmark clarification on the admissibility of electronic evidence, benefitting countless future defendants.
