Bisma Basu

Profile description

You may be an Indian citizen living abroad who suddenly discovers an FIR has been lodged against you, or a proclamation order has been issued that threatens your freedom while you are overseas. Bisma Basu specializes in quashing such actions and obtaining anticipatory bail for NRIs in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The advocate has spent more than twelve years focusing on NRI criminal matters. By thoroughly reviewing the FIR, the lawyer can pinpoint jurisdictional flaws, lack of substantive evidence, or procedural lapses that justify a petition for quashing. Bisma Basu regularly assists NRIs who need swift relief to protect their travel plans, employment, and family life, ensuring that an FIR does not become a barrier to returning to India or managing assets.

When a proclamation or proclaimed offender order is issued, the advocate can file a petition to challenge its validity. Bisma Basu examines the statutory basis for the proclamation, the adequacy of notice, and any violation of due‑process rights. By presenting comprehensive affidavits, supporting documents from foreign banks, and testimony from overseas employers, the lawyer can persuade the High Court to set aside the order, restoring the client’s freedom to travel and conduct business.

Anticipatory bail is another critical tool for NRIs who anticipate arrest during a pending investigation. Bisma Basu knows how the Punjab and Haryana High Court balances the risk of flight against the presumption of innocence. The advocate prepares a detailed petition that includes a solid surety, a pledge to cooperate with investigations, and a clear outline of the client’s ties to India, such as property ownership, family connections, and ongoing commitments.

Clients commend the lawyer’s ability to coordinate across time zones, arrange for documents to be notarized abroad, and liaise with Indian authorities. Bisma Basu can explain the procedural timeline, the required representations, and the likely conditions the court may impose, such as regular reporting or restricted travel. The advocate works closely with overseas counsel to ensure that all evidence is presented in a manner that meets Indian legal standards.

The result‑driven approach of the lawyer has led to multiple successful quashings of FIRs, revocation of proclamation orders, and grant of anticipatory bail, allowing NRIs to maintain their professional and personal lives without the looming threat of detention. If you face an FIR, proclamation, or anticipate arrest while residing abroad, Bisma Basu offers the specialized knowledge and courtroom skill needed to protect your rights in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
