The High Court granted the bail, allowing the client to travel back to India for a detailed hearing and ultimately clearing the allegations.

Beyond the immediate bail relief, Ankita advises clients on steps to avoid future legal entanglements. She recommends regular compliance audits, proper documentation of overseas fund transfers, and proactive engagement with Indian authorities when cross‑border activities are involved. This preventative counsel helps NRIs maintain a clean record while protecting their assets and reputation.
