Arnav Sihag

Profile description

When an NRI faces a criminal prosecution or a civil decree that has been quashed by a domestic court, the stakes rise sharply due to jurisdictional complexities and the risk of assets being frozen abroad. Arnav Sihag offers dedicated expertise in filing NRI Special Leave Petitions and appeals before the Supreme Court of India, ensuring that residents overseas receive robust representation at the nation’s highest judicial forum.

The lawyer has spent more than a decade mastering the procedural nuances of Supreme Court practice, especially as they pertain to non‑resident Indians. Arnav Sihag regularly assists clients who need to overturn a quashing order that threatens their property, business interests, or personal liberty. By preparing a Special Leave Petition that highlights the denial of due process, the failure to consider the client’s overseas status, and any misapplication of the law, the lawyer seeks to secure a Supreme Court order that reinstates the original judgment or mandates a fresh hearing.

If the Supreme Court grants leave but dismisses the petition on technical grounds, the lawyer can promptly file a Supreme Court appeal. Arnav Sihag’s experience includes navigating the limited windows for appeal, presenting fresh evidence, and arguing that the lower court’s decision adversely affects the client’s rights under the Indian Constitution and international law. The lawyer’s approach is to combine a thorough factual narrative with precise legal citations, making a compelling case for relief.

Educational credentials include a law degree from Guru Nanak Dev University and a Master of Laws focused on cross‑border disputes and appellate advocacy. Early career roles involved assisting senior advocates in high‑profile NRI cases, followed by a senior associate position in a Chandigarh chamber known for its work with the diaspora community. Notable successes feature the reversal of a quashed extradition order, the restoration of immovable property seized abroad, and the protection of financial assets held in offshore accounts.

If you are an NRI confronting a quashing order that jeopardises your rights, Arnav Sihag can evaluate your situation, draft a precise Special Leave Petition, and guide you through the Supreme Court appeal process. By partnering with a lawyer who has a proven record of defending NRI interests at the apex court, you increase the likelihood of securing a favourable outcome and safeguarding your assets and reputation.
