Harshil Arunachalam

Profile description

Imagine you are an NRI who suddenly discovers a proclamation order labeling you as a proclaimed offender, even though you are living abroad and have never been arrested. The order freezes bank accounts, blocks travel and creates severe personal distress. Harshil Arunachalam specializes in quashing such proclamations and removing proclaimed offender designations. The lawyer applies deep knowledge of criminal procedure to protect the rights of overseas Indians.

In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Harshil Arunachalam files writ petitions that highlight procedural irregularities, lack of evidence and denial of a personal hearing. The lawyer assembles a comprehensive affidavit, gathers proof of residence overseas and documents any cooperation with investigative agencies. By demonstrating that the proclamation was issued without satisfying due‑process requirements, the lawyer persuades the bench to set aside the order. Successful petitions have led to immediate cancellation of the proclamation, unlocking frozen assets and restoring the ability to travel.

The lawyer keeps the client informed at every stage, explaining each hearing and any statutory implications in plain language. The lawyer promises an aggressive yet efficient campaign to obtain quash, aiming for the fastest possible relief. Many NRIs have reported that the lawyer’s intervention stopped a cascade of legal and financial troubles, preserving their professional reputation and family stability.

A hallmark of the lawyer’s practice is the ability to balance legal rigor with empathy for clients navigating a foreign legal system. The lawyer regularly updates case strategy based on developments in the High Court, files interim applications to protect client assets and negotiates with investigating officers when necessary. By leveraging a network of senior advocates and forensic experts, the lawyer builds a robust defence that challenges the very foundation of the proclamation.
