Amanpreet Kurup

Profile description

An Indian citizen living abroad has been summoned to appear in a criminal matter that carries serious consequences, and the prospect of being forced to return to India is daunting. Amanpreet Kurup specializes in helping non‑resident Indians (NRIs) file Special Leave Petitions and appeals that address such cross‑border challenges before the Supreme Court of India.

When an NRI faces an adverse order from a trial court or the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the natural escalation point is the Supreme Court. A Special Leave Petition can request the apex court’s intervention to stay detention, overturn a conviction, or review procedural violations that may have disadvantaged the NRI. Amanpreet can explain how the Supreme Court evaluates these petitions, paying particular attention to questions of jurisdiction, fundamental rights, and the fair application of law to residents abroad.

Amanpreet Kurup earned a law degree from a nationally ranked university and has spent over fifteen years honing appellate skills across criminal and constitutional domains. Early practice as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court involved representing NRIs in bail, extradition, and deportation matters, providing intimate knowledge of the procedural hurdles that arise when a case spans continents. Further specialization in international criminal law and human rights equips the lawyer to articulate nuanced arguments that resonate with Supreme Court judges.

The lawyer’s record includes successful appeals that secured the release of NRIs detained pending trial, as well as SLPs that stayed extradition orders pending a full hearing. In a recent case, an NRI was ordered to appear in a money‑laundering investigation. Amanpreet’s petition highlighted procedural irregularities and the violation of the right to personal liberty under Article 21. The Supreme Court granted a stay, allowing the client to remain abroad while the matter was re‑examined. Clients praise Amanpreet for clear communication, meticulous documentation, and a calm, reassuring demeanor during stressful international proceedings.

A typical engagement begins with a confidential intake to collect all relevant orders, court filings, and evidence of residency abroad. Amanpreet conducts a thorough legal analysis, identifies ground‑s for a Special Leave Petition, and outlines a strategy that balances legal arguments with diplomatic considerations. The lawyer drafts a concise petition, supplements it with expert opinions where necessary, and prepares for oral arguments that focus on the protection of constitutional rights for NRIs.

Choosing Amanpreet Kurup means selecting a lawyer who blends deep knowledge of Indian criminal law with an understanding of the unique challenges faced by NRIs. The goal is to safeguard your liberty, protect your reputation, and ensure that the Supreme Court gives due consideration to the complexities of your situation. Whether you need a stay, reversal, or a full appeal, Amanpreet can help you navigate the procedural maze and achieve a result that respects your rights as an Indian citizen living abroad.
