Malavika Tandon

Profile description

Imagine being arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act or being charged with murder, and feeling that the lower court’s judgment was unjust. Malavika Tandon is a dedicated advocate who handles Criminal Revision, NDPS defence, and Murder and Attempt to Murder defence in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India.

Malavika Tandon regularly assists clients who need a revision of an already‑passed decree. In a Criminal Revision, she scrutinises the trial record for errors of law, procedural lapses, or misapprehensions of fact that may have led to an adverse verdict. By presenting a well‑structured petition to the High Court, she seeks to have the judgment set aside or modified. Her deep familiarity with the High Court’s procedural rules enables her to file timely and effective revisions, often resulting in reduced sentences or complete acquittals.

When the case involves the NDPS Act, Tandon brings a specialized defence strategy that challenges the prosecution’s evidentiary chain, questions the legality of searches, and highlights any violation of the client’s constitutional rights. She has successfully argued for the exclusion of improperly seized narcotics, demonstrated procedural irregularities, and secured bail or reduced punishment for numerous clients. Her courtroom presence is calm yet forceful, ensuring that judges hear the full context of the alleged offence.

In murder and attempt to murder matters, Malavika Tandon’s experience spans over a decade of defending clients against the most serious charges. She builds a defence by examining forensic reports, questioning eyewitness reliability, and presenting alternate narratives that introduce reasonable doubt. Her advocacy has led to acquittals, charge reductions, and favourable settlements in several landmark cases. Clients appreciate her ability to translate complex forensic and legal jargon into understandable explanations, allowing them to make informed decisions about plea negotiations or trial strategies.

Tandon’s practice is not limited to courtroom arguments. She advises clients on the best steps to take immediately after arrest, how to preserve evidence, and how to cooperate with investigators without incriminating themselves. Her approach combines rigorous legal analysis with compassionate client support. By choosing Malavika Tandon, you gain an advocate who can navigate the intricacies of both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court, leveraging her track record of successful revisions, NDPS defences, and murder‑related cases to protect your rights and liberty.
