About

I am a graduate of National Law University Delhi and the University of Oxford. I am now reading for the DPhil in Law at Oxford. My studies in Oxford are generously supported by the Rhodes Scholarship. My academic and research interests broadly revolve around the intersection of constitutional law and criminal law, and more particularly, I am interested in exploring the legal and constitutional limits of punishment and sentencing in constitutional democracies like India.
