Aman Shrivastava

Profile description

Picture yourself living abroad while a criminal case initiated in India suddenly results in a summons or a conviction that threatens your liberty and your ability to maintain immigration status. Aman Shrivastava offers the specialized advocacy needed to challenge such outcomes through Special Leave Petitions and appeals before the Supreme Court of India. Based in Chandigarh, the lawyer concentrates on representing non‑resident Indians whose criminal matters require cross‑border coordination and expert handling at the nation’s highest court.

The lawyer regularly assists NRI clients in filing Special Leave Petitions that address jurisdictional issues, procedural lapses, or substantive legal errors arising in lower courts. By demonstrating a substantial question of law or a grave miscarriage of justice, Aman Shrivastava can persuade the Supreme Court to intervene, even when the case involves complex foreign evidence or multiple jurisdictions. The lawyer’s approach includes arranging for the production of overseas documents, coordinating with foreign counsel, and presenting a clear narrative that connects the legal arguments with the client’s personal circumstances.

Over a decade of practice, Aman Shrivastava has secured Supreme Court relief for NRI clients facing convictions under the Indian Penal Code, as well as for those implicated in economic offences that carry severe imprisonment terms. Notable victories include the reversal of a death‑sentence appeal for an NRI accused of homicide, a stay on extradition proceedings in a cyber‑crime case, and the quashing of a wrongful conviction for alleged money‑laundering. These outcomes underline the lawyer’s ability to navigate both criminal procedure and international legal nuances.

The lawyer earned an LL.M. in International Criminal Law from a leading university and completed a certification in Cross‑Border Litigation. With fifteen years of courtroom experience, Aman Shrivastava combines rigorous legal analysis with practical understanding of diplomatic channels, immigration implications, and the challenges of defending clients who reside outside India. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s transparent fee structure, timely communication across time zones, and the calm confidence displayed during high‑profile hearings.

When an NRI client approaches Aman Shrivastava with a criminal conviction or an ongoing investigation, the lawyer initiates a comprehensive review of the case file, identifies any violation of procedural safeguards, and evaluates the prospects of a Special Leave Petition or an appeal. The lawyer then prepares a meticulously drafted petition, secures affidavits from overseas witnesses, and files the application with the Supreme Court. Throughout the process, the lawyer provides regular status reports, advises on travel restrictions, and coordinates with foreign embassies to protect the client’s rights.

If the Supreme Court grants leave, Aman Shrivastava prepares for oral arguments that focus on the legal errors affecting the NRI’s case, such as improper application of the Code of Criminal Procedure, denial of consular access, or misinterpretation of international treaties. The lawyer’s advocacy blends precise statutory citations with a compelling story of the client’s personal and professional stakes, helping the bench appreciate the broader impact of a wrong decision. Successful outcomes have included full acquittals, reduction of sentences, and orders for restitution.

NRI clients who retain Aman Shrivastava obtain a dedicated partner who understands both Indian criminal law and the complexities of defending a client abroad. The lawyer’s end‑to‑end service covers petition drafting, appellate advocacy, coordination with foreign authorities, and post‑judgment enforcement. Engaging the lawyer early can preserve crucial evidence, prevent unnecessary travel, and position the case for a favorable Supreme Court ruling that safeguards freedom and reputation.
