He is the son of ex-Supreme Court judge Justice Kuldeep Singh. His mother served as the Principal of Mohali Rajkiya Mahila College. Patwalia obtained LLB degree from Panjab University in the year 1998.

Dropping a mail to his team, Nanda had informed about his resignation as he thanked all his colleagues and junior lawyers who toiled long late hours, weekends and holidays, often at personal cost for case preparation and so that our office could shine in Court.
