Tanvi Sivakumar

Profile description

You have been accused of possession of narcotics, a default bail request has been denied, and the investigation also alleges financial fraud. In this stressful situation, Tanvi Sivakumar can guide you through NDPS defence, default bail, and fraud‑related charges. Practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, Tanvi focuses on protecting clients facing serious criminal allegations.

When a client approaches Tanvi for NDPS defence, the lawyer first conducts a thorough review of the seizure report, laboratory analysis, and the chain of custody. By scrutinising procedural compliance, Tanvi frequently uncovers violations that render the evidence inadmissible. The lawyer also examines the intent element, distinguishing personal use from trafficking, and prepares a detailed defence that challenges the prosecution’s case on both factual and legal grounds. In many instances, Tanvi’s strategic arguments have led to the dismissal of charges or substantial reductions in sentencing.

If bail has been denied, Tanvi specializes in filing a default bail petition under the provisions of the NDPS Act. The lawyer compiles a compelling record that demonstrates the client’s residence, ties to the community, and lack of flight risk, while highlighting the presumption of innocence. By presenting detailed affidavits and supporting documents, Tanvi regularly secures interim relief that allows the client to remain out of custody while the trial proceeds.

When fraud and cheating allegations accompany the narcotics case, Tanvi integrates the defence strategy to address both matters concurrently. The lawyer reviews financial records, bank statements, and transaction histories to identify discrepancies or procedural lapses in the investigation. By arguing that the alleged fraudulent acts lack evidentiary substantiation, Tanvi seeks to neutralise the additional charges, often resulting in a consolidated hearing that reduces overall exposure.

Tanvi Sivakumar earned an LL.B. from the Guru Nanak Dev University and completed a Master of Laws with a focus on Criminal Law. Early career experience includes serving as a research associate at a criminal justice think‑tank, where the lawyer contributed to policy papers on drug legislation. Over the past nine years, Tanvi has represented numerous clients in high‑profile NDND and financial crime cases, achieving a notable record of bail grants and acquittals. Clients commend the lawyer’s clear communication, swift filing of petitions, and unwavering commitment to protecting liberty.

Throughout the litigation, Tanvi maintains regular updates, explains each procedural step, and offers practical advice on how to cooperate with investigators without jeopardising the defence. The lawyer’s approach combines rigorous legal analysis with a compassionate understanding of the personal impact of criminal accusations. By leveraging experience across the High Court and the Supreme Court, Tanvi strives to secure the best possible outcome for every client.
