Divyabharathi Panghal

Profile description

Imagine receiving a government notice that bars you from leaving India, even though you have a scheduled flight to attend a crucial business conference abroad. Such foreign travel restrictions can jeopardize careers, family reunions, and health treatments for non‑resident Indians. Divyabharathi Panghal specializes in challenging these restrictions and restoring the right to move freely. The lawyer works before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India to secure relief for NRIs.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court handles petitions that contest look‑out circulars and exit prohibitions. Divyabharathi Panghal drafts writ petitions arguing that the restriction lacks legal basis, is disproportionate, or violates personal liberty. By submitting employment letters, medical certificates, and proof of overseas residence, the lawyer shows the client poses no flight risk and suffers undue hardship. The High Court often issues interim orders that lift the ban while the case is examined, letting the client resume normal plans.

When the High Court’s decision is unfavorable or the restriction reflects a broader policy that conflicts with national jurisprudence, an appeal to the Supreme Court of India may be needed. Divyabharathi Panghal prepares Special Leave Petitions that raise constitutional questions such as the right to freedom of movement for NRIs. By citing Supreme Court precedents that protect citizens abroad, the lawyer strengthens the request for overturning wrongful bans. If leave is granted, the petition proceeds to a full hearing, offering a final chance to have the restriction removed.

The lawyer earned a law degree from a distinguished university and has spent more than twelve years focusing on NRI civil and criminal matters. Early practice involved assisting senior advocates in the High Court, where the lawyer gained practical knowledge of petition drafting, court hearings, and interaction with judges. This background has been instrumental in building a reputation for meticulous research and persuasive argumentation, especially in cases that involve complex interplay between domestic law and international residence.

Divyabharathi Panghal follows a client‑centric methodology. The process starts with an in‑depth consultation to understand the specific travel restriction, its impact, and any related documentation. The lawyer then conducts a detailed legal analysis, identifies the most effective forum, and prepares a concise petition that emphasizes factual and legal strengths. Throughout the proceedings, the lawyer provides regular updates in clear language, outlines possible outcomes, and advises on any additional evidence that may improve the case. Collaboration with overseas legal counsel ensures that foreign documents are authenticated and admissible.

If a look‑out circular, exit prohibition, or any other travel restriction threatens your plans, Divyabharathi Panghal can mount a robust challenge before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if needed, before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s proven ability to secure interim relief, obtain permanent orders, and safeguard the fundamental right to travel offers NRIs confidence in a difficult situation.
