Advocate Subodh Bajpai represents accused persons, witnesses, and target companies in white-collar and economic-offence matters across Delhi NCR. The criminal vertical at Unified Chambers and Associates was launched in 2026 to sit alongside the existing institutional debt-recovery practice — covering Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) proceedings, Enforcement Directorate matters, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) matters under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, anticipatory bail, Delhi High Court bail, and bank-fraud defence.
Forums covered: the Delhi High Court (criminal benches), the PMLA Special Court and CBI Special Court at Patiala House, and the six Delhi NCR sessions courts — Tis Hazari, Saket, Rohini, Dwarka, Karkardooma, and the Patiala House district. Punjab & Haryana High Court for NCR-Haryana matters; Allahabad High Court for NCR-UP matters; Supreme Court of India through AOR-associated practice.
The practice operates under the post-1 July 2024 reset — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 — while continuing to apply the Supreme Court’s established framework on PMLA constitutionality (Vijay Madanlal Choudhary, 2022), grounds-of-arrest disclosure (Pankaj Bansal, 2024), bail categorisation (Satender Kumar Antil, 2022), anticipatory bail (Sushila Aggarwal, 2020), and quashing parameters (Bhajan Lal, 1992).
