Anamika Dahiya

Profile description

You are an Indian citizen living abroad and have discovered that a proclamation or offender order has been issued against you in India, freezing your assets and tarnishing your reputation. Or perhaps a criminal complaint has been lodged in relation to a matrimonial dispute, threatening your family’s stability. In these delicate situations you need a lawyer who understands the nuances of NRI criminal law and can effectively challenge the orders in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Anamika Dahiya offers focused expertise in NRI Quashing of Proclamation and Proclaimed Offender Orders, NRI Criminal Complaint Defence, and NRI Matrimonial Criminal Proceedings.

Anamika Dahiya brings more than fifteen years of experience handling cross‑border criminal matters. A graduate of the National Law School of India University with a specialization in International Criminal Law, the lawyer has worked with diaspora clients across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The lawyer’s deep familiarity with the procedural safeguards available to NRIs allows for swift filing of petitions that challenge the jurisdictional basis of proclamations and highlight violations of due‑process rights.

When a proclamation is issued, it often leads to attachment of property, bank accounts, and travel restrictions. Anamika Dahiya can help by filing an application for Quashing of Proclamation and Proclaimed Offender Orders, arguing that the petitioner failed to serve proper notice, that the alleged offence lacks sufficient factual basis, or that the claim is motivated by personal vendetta. In a recent case involving an NRI investor, the Punjab and Haryana High Court set aside the proclamation, ordering the release of seized assets and directing the enforcement agency to re‑examine the evidence.

Criminal complaints filed against NRIs, especially in sensitive matters such as alleged domestic violence or fraud, require careful navigation of both Indian law and the client’s overseas status. Anamika Dahiya regularly assists clients by preparing detailed defence statements, gathering documentary evidence from abroad, and coordinating with local investigators. The lawyer’s ability to secure bail, present ex‑onerating evidence, and negotiate settlement agreements has resulted in favourable dismissals and reduced penalties in numerous cases.

Matrimonial criminal proceedings pose an additional layer of complexity, as they intertwine family law with criminal statutes. Anamika Dahiya has successfully defended NRIs accused of criminal conduct arising from divorce, alimony disputes, or alleged harassment. By highlighting jurisdictional constraints, lack of jurisdictional notice, and the client’s compliance with Indian family law provisions, the lawyer has helped the High Court dismiss several proceedings that threatened the client’s personal and professional life.

Clients commend Anamika Dahiya for clear communication, timely updates, and a compassionate approach that respects cultural sensitivities. The lawyer’s strategic use of expert witnesses, forensic documentation, and precedent‑based arguments consistently convinces the High Court to protect NRI rights. A reputation for achieving quash orders, securing bail, and protecting reputations has earned the lawyer a steady stream of referrals from the Indian diaspora.

If you face a proclamation, a criminal complaint, or a matrimonial criminal case while residing abroad, Anamika Dahiya can explain your legal options, prepare a robust defence, and file the necessary petitions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. A consultation provides a clear plan of action, ensuring that an experienced lawyer stands by you throughout the process.
