Areeba Sangwan

Profile description

You are an NRI who has been declared a proclaimed offender in India, with a travel ban that prevents you from returning home for a family emergency. The stress of being labeled a criminal overseas can be overwhelming. Areeba Sangwan offers the expertise needed to challenge such orders and restore your freedom.

Areeba Sangwan regularly assists NRIs in quashing proclamation and proclaimed offender orders issued by Indian courts. The lawyer examines the procedural history of the case, identifies any violations of statutory safeguards, and files applications for revocation before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By presenting evidence of residence abroad, lack of prior convictions, and the disproportionate impact of the proclamation, the lawyer has succeeded in overturning numerous orders that threatened clients’ ability to travel and conduct business.

When property fraud accusations surface against an NRI, the stakes are high. Areeba Sangwan can defend against these claims by conducting detailed investigations of the property documents, engaging international forensic experts, and challenging the authenticity of the alleged fraudulent transactions. In several recent matters, the lawyer secured dismissals after proving that the alleged fraud stemmed from miscommunication rather than intentional deception, protecting clients from asset freezes and reputational harm.

Travel restrictions imposed on NRIs can halt professional engagements and personal plans. The lawyer is skilled in challenging such restrictions, filing petitions that argue the orders are excessive, not based on solid evidence, and infringe upon fundamental rights. By demonstrating strong ties to the home country, compliance with Indian tax obligations, and the absence of flight risk, the lawyer has convinced the Punjab and Haryana High Court to lift travel bans, allowing clients to move freely.

Areeba Sangwan’s academic credentials include a law degree from a distinguished Indian institution and specialized training in cross‑border criminal matters. Over a decade of practice has been dedicated to defending NRIs, developing a nuanced understanding of the interaction between Indian law and foreign jurisdictions. The lawyer’s approach is client‑centred: clear explanations, regular updates, and strategic planning that considers both legal and personal dimensions of each case.

If you are confronting a proclamation, property fraud allegation, or travel restriction, Areeba Sangwan can explain your legal options, craft a robust defence, and pursue the removal of oppressive orders. The lawyer’s proven record reflects a commitment to safeguarding the rights of NRIs, ensuring that unjust claims are dismissed and that freedom of movement is restored. By leveraging the jurisdiction of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer works diligently to achieve outcomes that protect your assets, reputation, and personal liberty.
