Divyanshi Awasthi

Profile description

You are an NRI facing a criminal complaint, an anticipatory bail request or the impounding of your passport by Indian authorities. In that moment you need a lawyer who understands the cross‑border nuances of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Divyanshi Awasthi begins by gathering the facts of your case, the location of the alleged offence and the status of your travel documents.

Divyanshi Awasthi regularly assists NRIs who require anticipatory bail to prevent arrest while the investigation proceeds. The lawyer files a pre‑emptive bail petition that emphasizes the client’s overseas residence, lack of flight risk and the potential harm to personal and professional life if detained abroad. By presenting affidavits from family members and proof of ties to the home country, the lawyer has secured anticipatory bail that allows the client to remain free while the case moves forward.

When a criminal complaint is lodged against an NRI, Divyanshi Awasthi can defend the client by challenging the jurisdiction, the admissibility of evidence and the procedural correctness of the filing. The lawyer prepares a defence that highlights any errors in the charge sheet, the relevance of the alleged acts and the client’s right to a fair trial. Successful outcomes have included dismissal of complaints and orders for the authorities to cease further investigation.

Passport impounding writ petitions are another specialty. If the authorities have seized your passport, Divyanshi Awasthi files a writ petition that argues the action is disproportionate and violates fundamental rights. The lawyer presents evidence of travel commitments, professional obligations and the absence of a flight risk. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has, in several instances, ordered the return of the passport and lifted the restriction.

All of these matters are handled before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer knows the judges who deal with NRI cases and the procedural preferences that expedite relief. Whether the petition is presented before a single judge or a bench, Divyanshi Awasthi tailors arguments to the specific concerns of the court, citing relevant precedents involving overseas citizens.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s clear communication. Divyanshi Awasthi explains each filing, the supporting documents needed and the likely timeline for a decision. The lawyer keeps the client updated despite time‑zone differences and ensures that every step aligns with the client’s overseas commitments. By combining thorough legal research, courtroom experience and sensitivity to NRI circumstances, the lawyer strives to protect freedom, restore passport rights and achieve a favourable resolution.
