If you are an NRI facing a criminal case that stems from a marital dispute, the stress of being far from home can feel overwhelming. You may have received a notice of investigation, a charge sheet, or even an arrest warrant while living overseas. In such moments, clear guidance from a knowledgeable lawyer is essential. Bhavin Krishnamurthy specializes in NRI matrimonial criminal proceedings and can help you protect your rights from the first phone call to the final judgment. His practice is built around the unique challenges that arise when family conflict crosses borders and triggers criminal law.

Bhavin Krishnamurthy earned an LL.B. from Panjab University and completed a Master of Laws in International Family Law at the University of London. Over the past twelve years he has represented NRIs in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and before the Supreme Court of India. He has successfully argued for the dismissal of criminal complaints that were filed on the basis of false marital allegations. Clients repeatedly note his calm demeanor, strategic thinking, and ability to coordinate with foreign legal representatives.

The core of his practice involves navigating sections of the Indian Penal Code that are often misused in divorce or separation fights. He regularly assists clients in filing quash petitions, seeking anticipatory bail, and counter‑filing defamation suits when a spouse attempts to weaponize criminal law. He can explain how to preserve evidence from abroad, how to subpoena documents, and how to present a coherent narrative that shows the criminal complaint is baseless. His familiarity with the procedural rules of the High Court and the Supreme Court ensures that motions are filed within strict timelines and backed by strong precedents.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh is the primary forum for most matrimonial criminal matters involving NRIs. Bhavin Krishnamurthy has appeared before this bench for hundreds of hearings, building rapport with judges who value clear, concise arguments. When a case escalates or requires a definitive interpretation of law, he is prepared to take it to the Supreme Court of India. His experience before the apex court includes drafting special leave petitions that have resulted in landmark rulings protecting the rights of NRIs against abusive criminal prosecutions.

His approach is collaborative and data‑driven. He begins with a thorough fact‑finding interview, gathers digital records, and coordinates with counselors or financial experts as needed. He then crafts a legal strategy that targets the weak points of the prosecution’s case while safeguarding your family’s reputation. Bhavin Krishnamurthy commits to keeping you informed at every stage, translating legal jargon into plain language. Clients can expect aggressive advocacy, meticulous preparation, and a realistic assessment of possible outcomes.
