Advocate Subodh Bajpai is Senior Partner and founder of Unified Chambers and Associates, a New Delhi-based law firm. His practice is concentrated on two verticals — institutional debt recovery and white-collar criminal defence — with an active presence before the Delhi High Court, all 39 Debt Recovery Tribunals, the 5 Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals, the National Company Law Tribunal and its appellate body, Delhi NCR Sessions Courts, and the Supreme Court of India. He holds an LL.M. in commercial law and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur. He is enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi and is a member of the Delhi High Court Bar Association. He has appeared in over 500 DRT proceedings on behalf of scheduled commercial banks, non-banking financial companies, asset reconstruction companies, and housing finance companies. He writes regularly on debt recovery under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, SARFAESI enforcement, and the new criminal codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) for legal publications. He has been a panel counsel for institutional creditors and represents both creditors and respondents in matters with civil and criminal overlap.

“The new criminal codes preserve the doctrinal foundations but have shifted the procedural cadence — practitioners need to read Section 482 BNSS, not Section 438 CrPC.”

“Anticipatory bail in Delhi NCR remains an accessible forum, with Sessions Courts disposing of typical applications within ten to fourteen days.”

“In Prevention of Money Laundering Act matters, the Vijay Madanlal Choudhary framework continues to constrain pre-arrest bail; Pankaj Bansal has reset what documentary record the accused is entitled to before remand.”

“Debt Recovery Tribunal proceedings work most efficiently when the original application is drafted with the discipline of a writ petition — every assertion tethered to a record-level document.”

“The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s Section 84 carries forward Section 498A IPC almost verbatim; Arnesh Kumar arrest safeguards continue to apply.”

“The IBC Section 14 moratorium has been clarified by P. Mohanraj — it suspends Section 138 proceedings against the corporate debtor but not against natural-person signatories.”

“Section 138 NI Act is now the most-invoked criminal provision in India; the post-2018 mandatory deposit on appeals has materially reduced frivolous appellate litigation.”

“Bank fraud cases now operate against the SBI v. Rajesh Agarwal natural-justice framework — classifications under the RBI Master Direction on Frauds require notice and hearing.”
