Falguni Bajpai

Profile description

You have just learned that a criminal complaint has been lodged against you while you are living in Canada, and the prospect of foreign travel restrictions looms large. Falguni Bajpai is the lawyer who can bring clarity to this difficult situation. With a focus on the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Bajpai has built a practice around assisting NRIs who need anticipatory bail, robust defence against criminal complaints, and challenges to travel bans that threaten personal and professional commitments abroad.

When an NRI faces a criminal complaint, the first step is often to seek anticipatory bail to prevent arrest. Bajpai regularly assists clients in drafting anticipatory bail applications that highlight the client’s residence overseas, family responsibilities and the lack of flight risk. The lawyer knows how to structure the application to satisfy the High Court’s expectations while addressing any concerns the police may raise. By presenting a clear narrative and supporting affidavits, Bajpai can help secure a pre‑emptive order that protects your freedom while the investigation proceeds.

If a complaint has already been filed, Bajpai’s defence strategy moves to the next level. The lawyer evaluates the FIR, gathers evidence from abroad, and coordinates with forensic experts to contest false statements. By preparing comprehensive written submissions and delivering focused oral arguments, Bajpai can demonstrate inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case, challenge the admissibility of improperly obtained evidence and argue for dismissal or reduction of charges. Clients often report that Bajpai’s meticulous preparation and calm courtroom demeanor create a persuasive defence that resonates with the judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Travel restrictions are a common fallout of criminal proceedings involving NRIs. A court may prohibit you from leaving India, jeopardizing your job and family obligations overseas. Bajpai has successfully challenged such restrictions by filing urgent applications that cite constitutional rights, the client’s overseas employment contracts and the proportionality of the restriction. The lawyer can argue that a travel ban is excessive when the client has no record of non‑compliance and can propose alternative conditions, such as reporting to the police station regularly. This approach often results in the court lifting or modifying the ban, allowing you to resume normal life abroad.

Through years of practice, Bajpai has earned a reputation for responsiveness and strategic thinking. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s ability to simplify complex legal jargon, keep them updated on case developments and provide realistic expectations. Bajpai also assists with ancillary issues such as managing frozen bank accounts, updating property documents and coordinating with local counsel in the foreign jurisdiction. By choosing Falguni Bajpai, an NRI confronting criminal allegations gains a determined advocate who can navigate anticipatory bail, defend against complaints and protect the right to travel, all within the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s jurisdiction.
