Gajendra Pandey

Profile description

Imagine you are an NRI who discovers a Look‑Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you, that a matrimonial dispute has turned criminal, or that your passport has been impounded as part of a criminal proceeding. Gajendra Pandey is the advocate who can untangle these complex, overlapping issues before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, bringing clarity and protection to your overseas life.

Gajendra Pandey’s first focus is on Look‑Out Circular writ petitions. When a LOC is circulated, banks and financial institutions can freeze accounts, and travel becomes difficult. The lawyer regularly files writ petitions that challenge the legality of the circular, question the adequacy of notice, and demand that the court order a stay on the execution of the LOC. In many cases, the court issues a temporary injunction, allowing the client to access funds and continue routine transactions while the underlying criminal matter is examined.

The second pillar of the practice is NRI Matrimonial Criminal Proceedings. Disputes that begin as marital disagreements can quickly evolve into criminal complaints, especially when allegations of domestic violence or false accusation arise. Gajendra Pandey can explain how such matters are handled in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, file appropriate applications to protect the client’s rights, and negotiate settlements that address both the matrimonial and criminal dimensions. The advocate has successfully secured dismissal of false charges, obtained protection orders, and facilitated amicable resolutions that restore family stability while defending the client’s liberty.

Thirdly, the lawyer handles NRI Passport Impounding writ petitions. When a passport is seized, an NRI’s ability to travel, attend to family emergencies, or fulfill professional obligations is crippled. Gajendra Pandey prepares detailed petitions that argue the impoundment is disproportionate, that the client poses no flight risk, and that alternative safeguards can protect the investigation. The high court often grants a stay, allowing the client to regain possession of the passport pending a full hearing, thereby preventing undue hardship.

Across all three areas, the advocate brings a strategic, client‑focused approach. Years of experience dealing with cross‑border criminal matters have sharpened the ability to coordinate with foreign counsel, gather evidence from overseas, and manage the procedural intricacies of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Gajendra is known for clear communication, rapid filing of urgent applications, and meticulous preparation of written submissions that cite the latest precedents.

If you are an NRI facing any of these challenges—whether a Look‑Out Circular, a criminal aspect to a matrimonial dispute, or a passport impoundment—Gajendra Pandey can help you understand your rights, file the appropriate writ petition, and protect your freedom of movement and reputation. The lawyer’s commitment is to achieve swift relief, safeguard your interests, and guide you through the legal process with confidence.
