Gajendra Chauhan

Profile description

An overseas Indian returns home to find that a piece of land in Chandigarh has been illegally transferred to a third party, and a legal notice threatens foreclosure. Gajendra Chauhan is the lawyer who can step in to protect the client’s rightful ownership and to fight allegations of property fraud. Specialising in NRI Property Fraud Defence, the advocate understands the unique challenges faced by non‑resident Indians, such as jurisdictional hurdles, document authentication, and the need to coordinate with agents abroad. Clients who discover a forged sale deed or a fraudulent registration can rely on the lawyer to unravel the scheme and to assert their property rights before the courts.

With over fifteen years of practice in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, Gajendra Chauhan has become a go‑to resource for NRIs embroiled in complex real‑estate disputes. After completing a law degree at a top university and a master’s programme focused on cross‑border property law, the lawyer joined a reputed firm where the daily work involved representing foreign investors and diaspora clients. During that period, the lawyer secured favourable outcomes in dozens of cases where forged documents, mis‑representation by agents, and illegal title transfers were challenged. The lawyer’s deep knowledge of the Registration Act, the Transfer of Property Act, and the provisions governing NRI property holdings enables precise arguments that dismantle fraud claims.

The defence strategy begins with a meticulous audit of all Title documents, payment receipts, and correspondence between the client and the alleged buyer. Gajendra Chauhan can identify inconsistencies, trace the origin of forged signatures, and enlist forensic experts to verify the authenticity of stamps and seals. The lawyer then files a written objection and an application for cancellation of the fraudulent transfer in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By invoking precedents that protect NRI interests and by demonstrating procedural lapses in the registration process, the lawyer works to have the illegal entry set aside and the original title restored.

When the high court’s decision does not fully address the client’s concerns, the lawyer is prepared to approach the Supreme Court of India. Gajendra Chauhan drafts Special Leave Petitions that highlight the broader implications for NRI property rights across the country and argue that a denial of relief would undermine confidence in India’s real‑estate market. The lawyer’s experience before the Supreme Court includes several landmark rulings that have reinforced the requirement for strict compliance with registration formalities and have affirmed the protection of NRIs against fraudulent conveyances. This dual‑court expertise ensures that the client’s case is pursued at every judicial level.

The lawyer maintains clear, regular communication with clients scattered across the globe. Gajendra Chauhan provides updates via secure video calls, explains each procedural step in simple terms, and advises on ancillary matters such as obtaining power of attorney, managing tax implications, and safeguarding future transactions. By combining aggressive courtroom advocacy with a considerate approach to the client’s overseas circumstances, the lawyer aims to restore property ownership and to prevent further financial loss. Those who engage the services can expect a dedicated advocate who leverages deep legal knowledge and a proven track record to protect NRI assets.
