Sahana Shrivastava

Profile description

If you are detained on serious charges and need immediate release to tend to family, health, or business matters, securing interim bail becomes a pressing priority. Sahana Shrivastava, an experienced advocate in Chandigarh, focuses on obtaining interim bail and specialized bail under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. By combining swift procedural action with a deep understanding of bail jurisprudence, the lawyer works to restore liberty while the underlying case proceeds.

Sahana Shrivastava earned an LL.B. from Punjab University and completed a postgraduate diploma in Bail Law and Procedure. Over fifteen years of practice, the advocate has successfully secured bail for a wide spectrum of offences, ranging from white‑collar crimes to drug‑related allegations. The lawyer’s fluency in both English and Punjabi enables clear communication with clients and effective advocacy before both the High Court and the nation’s apex court.

Interim bail is intended to provide temporary release pending final trial, and the advocate assesses each case for factors that favor such relief, including health emergencies, family responsibilities, or lack of flight risk. Sahana Shrivastava files a meticulous interim bail petition, citing medical reports, character references, and the presumption of innocence. By presenting a concise, evidence‑based argument before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer often secures release within days, allowing the client to attend to personal matters while the defence strategy continues to develop.

The NDPS Act imposes stringent bail conditions, often requiring a substantial surety and proof of cooperation with investigative agencies. Sahana Shrivastava evaluates the specifics of the NDPS charge, such as the quantity of narcotics alleged, the role alleged to be played, and any prior record. When the facts do not justify the stringent bail standards, the advocate files a bail application under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, emphasizing the client’s clean record, ties to the community, and willingness to abide by monitoring conditions. The lawyer’s strategic framing of the bail request has resulted in multiple High Court and Supreme Court rulings granting release, even in cases involving large quantities of controlled substances.
