Himanshu Joshi

Profile description

Imagine being a non‑resident Indian who receives news of a criminal conviction handed down by a trial court in India while you are living abroad. The judgment could affect travel, finances, and reputation, and you may feel far from any legal recourse. Himanshu Joshi, a seasoned advocate based in Chandigarh, specializes in filing Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court on behalf of NRIs who need swift and decisive intervention.

The Supreme Court’s discretionary power under Article 136 allows an advocate to seek leave to appeal a judgment that deeply affects an NRI’s rights. Himanshu Joshi can explain how the lawyer assesses the legal and factual matrix, identifies jurisdictional issues, and drafts a petition that emphasizes the client’s inability to attend proceedings, the potential miscarriage of justice, and the need for a uniform interpretation of law across borders. By presenting a concise and compelling case, the advocate aims to obtain the Court’s permission to challenge the conviction.

In many instances the NRI client’s appeal must also address procedural gaps that arose during the trial, such as lack of proper notice or failure to consider overseas evidence. Himanshu Joshi regularly assists NRIs in preparing appellate briefs that weave together domestic law and international considerations, ensuring that the Supreme Court sees the full context. The advocate files the appeal, manages service of notices across jurisdictions, and presents oral arguments that highlight why the original decision should be set aside.

Himanshu Joshi earned a law degree from the National Law Institute University, Bhopal, followed by a certification in International Arbitration. Over the past twelve years, the advocate has filed more than forty Special Leave Petitions for NRIs, achieving favorable outcomes in cases involving financial fraud, cyber offences, and drug‑related charges. The lawyer’s fluency in English and familiarity with overseas legal systems enable smooth coordination with clients, family members, and foreign counsel.

One notable case involved an NRI entrepreneur accused of money‑laundering based on transactions conducted abroad. Himanshu Joshi secured a Special Leave Petition that highlighted inconsistencies in the prosecutorial evidence and secured the Supreme Court’s intervention, leading to the dismissal of the charges. In another matter, the advocate’s appeal resulted in the Court modifying a conviction, allowing the client to travel freely and protect business interests. The lawyer’s strategy combines meticulous document review, expert testimony, and persuasive narrative to make the Court’s decision favorable.

The advocate provides clear fee proposals, linking costs to each stage of the petition and appeal process. Himanshu Joshi also ensures that clients receive regular updates, even across time zones, so they remain informed of every development. After a successful judgment, the lawyer advises on how to comply with the Supreme Court’s orders, manage any reinstatement of rights, and mitigate future legal exposure. This comprehensive service model offers peace of mind to NRIs navigating complex cross‑border litigation.

If a Supreme Court intervention is required to protect your rights as an NRI, the right advocate can change the outcome. Himanshu Joshi can evaluate your case, draft a powerful Special Leave Petition, and argue before the justices with the skill and dedication needed for success. Choosing an experienced Supreme Court lawyer ensures that your cross‑border legal challenges are met with expertise, transparency, and a commitment to achieving the best possible result.
