Charanpreet Kohli

Profile description

If you are facing charges related to cybercrime or the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, you need a lawyer who understands both the technical nuances of digital offences and the stringent provisions of drug legislation. Charanpreet Kohli offers that dual expertise, defending clients in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.

Charanpreet Kohli graduated with distinction from a premier law institute and completed a specialized postgraduate diploma in cyber law. After a formative stint with a national crime investigation agency, the lawyer joined a leading criminal defence firm where they handled high‑profile cyber fraud, data breach, and hacking cases. Over the past twelve years, Charanpreet has also represented clients accused under the NDPS Act, mastering the complex evidentiary standards and procedural safeguards that these cases demand.

In the High Court, Charanpreet’s defence strategy begins with a forensic audit of digital evidence. The lawyer works with certified cyber forensic experts to examine server logs, IP traces, and encrypted communications, looking for gaps that can undermine the prosecution’s narrative. For NDPS matters, Charanpreet scrutinises chain‑of‑custody documents, laboratory reports, and search‑and‑seizure authorisations to identify violations of the law. By raising these technical and procedural challenges, the lawyer often secures the dismissal of charges or negotiates reduced sentences.

When a case escalates to the Supreme Court of India, Charanpreet’s experience with both cyber and drug law becomes a decisive advantage. The lawyer has successfully filed review petitions that argue constitutional infringements, such as the right to privacy in digital investigations or disproportionate punishment under the NDPS Act. In recent Supreme Court appearances, Charanpreet persuaded the bench to overturn convictions that were based on unlawfully obtained digital evidence, setting precedents that protect future defendants.

Clients consistently praise Charanpreet for clear communication and a pragmatic approach. The lawyer regularly assists individuals and corporate entities in understanding the legal implications of cyber investigations, the potential penalties under the NDPS Act, and the steps required to mount an effective defence. Whether it is negotiating a settlement, filing a bail application, or presenting a robust argument before the highest court, Charanpreet Kohli combines technical insight with courtroom skill to safeguard liberties and pursue the best possible outcome for every client.
