Pragnya joined Garden Court North Chambers as a member in October 2026 following the successful completion of her pupillage.
She accepts instructions across inquests and public inquiries, actions against public authorities, housing law, and protest rights.
During her pupillage, Pragnya worked closely with the inquests and public inquiries team, shadowing Pete Weatherby KC on the Southport Inquiry, Ciara Bartlam at the inquest into the death of Alex Davies and Camille Warren at the inquest into the death of James Stow.
Following an inquest, a solicitor commented “I also want to praise Prag, she was fantastic. I understand that she has only just started her pupillage, but she threw herself in completely, and was a massive help”.
Pragnya has worked with all members of the protest rights team on cases in both the Magistrates and the Crown Court. She shadowed Mira Hammad on the ‘Filton Trial’, and was appointed as a noting brief for the first week of the trial.

She has observed a broad range of hearings, settlement negotiations, and gained experience in drafting pleadings.
Before coming to the Bar, Prag worked as a paralegal in the Actions Against Public Authorities team at two national firms. Her work focused on civil claims and complaints against the Police and other State agencies, and inquests arising out of deaths in state custody. She was also part of Extinction Rebellion's legal support team, where she worked with protestors facing criminal charges, coordinated legal challenges to unlawful policing, and helped produce accessible legal education materials.
Pragnya has experience working on Article 2 inquests, and is particularly suited to cases involving prisons, deaths in mental health settings, and police violence.
Notable cases: Pragnya was led by Anna Morris KC on the high-profile inquest into the death of Emily Moore.
