Balraj Nalluri

Profile description

Imagine being declared a proclaimed offender while you live abroad, or finding that a property fraud case has frozen your overseas assets. Balraj Nalluri specialises in defending Non‑Resident Indians (NRIs) against such actions and in challenging foreign travel restrictions through the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The lawyer’s work in quashing proclamation and proclaimed offender orders begins with a detailed review of the notification process. The lawyer regularly assists NRIs by establishing that the notice was served incorrectly, that due process was not followed, or that the underlying investigation lacks substantive evidence. By filing a petition that highlights jurisdictional issues and procedural lapses, the lawyer has persuaded the high court to set aside proclamations, restore the client’s legal status, and prevent the issuance of further enforcement notices.

Property fraud allegations often involve complex cross‑border transactions. Balraj Nalluri examines the chain of title, scrutinises financial records, and engages forensic experts to prove that the client acted in good faith. The lawyer can help the client demonstrate that any alleged misrepresentation was a misunderstanding, that the transaction complied with Indian law, or that the plaintiff’s claim is barred by statutory limitation. Successful defence strategies have resulted in the high court dismissing the fraud suit and ordering the recovery of seized assets.

Travel restrictions imposed on NRIs raise serious concerns about personal freedom and professional commitments. The lawyer is adept at challenging such orders through writ petitions that argue the restriction is disproportionate, lacks legal basis, or violates constitutional rights. By presenting evidence of stable residence abroad, ties to the Indian jurisdiction, and lack of any flight risk, the lawyer has secured orders that lift travel bans, allowing clients to resume business and family obligations overseas.

Balraj Nalluri combines a deep understanding of Indian criminal procedure with practical experience handling cases that span continents. The lawyer maintains a network of international legal consultants to coordinate evidence collection, document authentication, and service of notices across jurisdictions. This collaborative approach ensures that the high court receives a complete and compelling picture of the client’s situation.

Clients often fear that a proclamation or travel restriction will jeopardise their visa status, professional licences, or family reunification efforts. The lawyer addresses these concerns by pursuing immediate interim relief, seeking a stay on enforcement actions, and negotiating with authorities to clarify the client’s position. The lawyer also advises on steps to avoid future conflicts, such as compliance with tax reporting requirements and maintaining transparent records of overseas dealings.

If you are an NRI facing a proclamation order, property fraud allegation, or travel restriction, Balraj Nalluri can evaluate the case, craft a targeted petition, and advocate for the removal of punitive measures. The lawyer’s proven success in the Punjab and Haryana High Court demonstrates a commitment to protecting the rights and freedoms of Indians living abroad.
