After serving as a legal officer with the Ministry of External Affairs, the lawyer spent eight years advising Indian embassies on criminal extradition and bail issues.

The lawyer’s deep familiarity with both Indian constitutional guarantees and international treaty obligations enables the preparation of petitions that highlight jurisdictional conflicts, human‑rights concerns, and procedural deficiencies.

A standout case involved an NRI accused of financial fraud who was arrested in a foreign country and subsequently faced a non‑bailable order from an Indian magistrate. Gurdeep Gogoi filed a Special Leave Petition challenging the magistrate’s decision on the grounds of lack of proper jurisdiction and the client’s right to fair trial under the Indian Constitution. The Supreme Court granted a stay on the non‑bailable order, allowing the client to coordinate with foreign counsel and avoid unnecessary detention.

Gurdeep Gogoi can explain the timeline of a Supreme Court appeal, the documentation required from foreign authorities, and the strategic considerations for framing constitutional arguments.
