Aaqib Kannan

Profile description

You are an NRI caught in a matrimonial dispute that has escalated into criminal proceedings, and you have already exhausted your options in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Supreme Court of India now stands as the last hopeful arena to safeguard your marital rights and personal liberty. Aaqib Kannan is the lawyer who can navigate this dual challenge of special leave petitions and matrimonial criminal matters.

Aaqib Kannan’s practice merges two demanding fields: NRI Special Leave Petitions (SLP) and Appeals, and NRI Matrimonial Criminal Proceedings. The lawyer regularly assists clients in filing SLPs before the Supreme Court, pinpointing procedural deficiencies, new evidence, or misinterpretations of law that justify a fresh hearing. By crafting concise, precedent‑backed petitions, Aaqib has secured stays, set‑aside orders, and, in several instances, full reversals of adverse High Court judgments.

In the realm of matrimonial criminal proceedings, Aaqib handles cases where marital disputes have led to criminal complaints—such as allegations of cruelty, false accusations, or misuse of criminal law to gain leverage. The lawyer prepares comprehensive defence strategies, gathers documentary and testimonial evidence, and argues for the dismissal or mitigation of charges. When the case advances to the Supreme Court, Aaqib integrates criminal defence arguments with the special leave petition, presenting a unified narrative that emphasizes the misuse of criminal provisions in a marital context.

Aaqib holds an LL.B. from the University of Punjab and an LL.M. in International and Comparative Law from the National Law School of India. With fifteen years of experience, the lawyer began as a research assistant in a Supreme Court bench, later serving as an advocate in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. This background provides an intimate understanding of the procedural nuances of both courts. Fluency in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu enables effective communication with clients across the diaspora.

Client testimonials reflect Aaqib’s professionalism and determination. One NRI client praised the lawyer’s ability to secure a Supreme Court stay on a criminal contempt proceeding, buying critical time to negotiate a settlement. Another client highlighted a successful SLP that led the Supreme Court to quash a criminal conviction based on false evidence, restoring the client’s reputation and freedom. Reviews often note the lawyer’s transparent fee structure and diligent updates throughout the lengthy appellate process.

If you are an NRI facing a criminal charge arising from a matrimonial dispute, Aaqib Kannan can explain the viability of a Special Leave Petition, outline the steps for an appeal, and provide robust defence before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s dual expertise ensures that your marital rights and personal liberty are defended with strategic precision and relentless advocacy.
