Esha Dahiya

Profile description

Being declared a proclaimed offender or receiving a prosecution order while living abroad can feel like an endless maze of legal hurdles. You may be uncertain how to protect your rights from thousands of kilometres away. Esha Dahiya, an experienced advocate practising before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, focuses on NRI quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders as well as NRI criminal appeals.

A proclamation order is issued when a court believes a person is deliberately evading the judicial process. For non‑resident Indians, this can mean frozen assets, travel restrictions, and constant legal anxiety. Esha Dahiya regularly assists NRI clients in filing petitions that demonstrate their willingness to cooperate, contest the factual basis of the proclamation, and request immediate quashing. The advocate’s familiarity with cross‑border procedural requirements enables swift filing of applications, even from overseas jurisdictions, and ensures that the High Court receives a compelling narrative that the alleged evasion is unfounded.

When a lower court’s decision has already been appealed, the next step may involve presenting an appeal before the Supreme Court of India. Esha Dahiya can help NRI litigants craft a robust appeal that highlights procedural irregularities, jurisdictional errors, or violations of fundamental rights. By preparing a precise Special Leave Petition, the advocate seeks the Supreme Court’s permission to review the case and ultimately secure a reversal of the adverse order.

Esha Dahiya holds a distinguished law degree from a leading university and brings more than fifteen years of practice focused on cross‑border criminal matters. The advocate has successfully quashed several proclamation orders for NRI clients, resulting in the restoration of their ability to travel and conduct business without hindrance. In the Supreme Court, Esha Dahiya has obtained special leave in high‑profile appeals, leading to the annulment of wrongful convictions and the clearing of criminal records for clients residing abroad.

The approach is client‑centred and transparent. From the initial consultation, Esha Dahiya can help you understand the legal options, the likely timeline, and the documentation required to support a quashing application. The advocate coordinates with local counsel in India, gathers evidence of residency and cooperation, and drafts petitions that combine factual clarity with strong legal arguments. Throughout the process, the focus remains on achieving a decisive quash of the proclamation order and, where necessary, securing a favourable outcome on any subsequent appeal.

If you are an NRI facing a proclamation order, a proclaimed offender declaration, or an adverse criminal judgment that has been appealed, Esha Dahiya offers the specialized expertise needed to navigate the Indian judicial system from abroad. By leveraging extensive experience in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the advocate works diligently to protect your rights, restore your freedom of movement, and clear any unjust criminal cloud hanging over your name.
