Your passport has been impounded and travel restrictions imposed, leaving you unable to attend an urgent family event or a business commitment abroad. If you are an NRI facing such writ petitions, Iqra Bajpai provides dedicated representation to restore your mobility and protect your rights.

Iqra Bajpai completed an advanced law program focusing on international and human‑rights law, followed by extensive training in procedural writ practice. With more than eleven years of experience, the lawyer has built a niche practice handling passport impoundments, travel bans, and related writ petitions for NRIs. The advocate regularly appears before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and has secured favorable rulings from the Supreme Court of India on similar matters.

When a passport is seized, Iqra begins by examining the statutory and procedural basis for the impoundment. The lawyer identifies any violations of due process, assesses the proportionality of the restriction, and prepares a writ petition that challenges the order under constitutional guarantees of personal liberty and freedom of movement. By citing recent Supreme Court judgments that safeguard the right to travel, Iqra crafts arguments that demonstrate the severe impact of the restriction on the client’s personal and professional life.

For broader travel‑restriction challenges, the lawyer works with immigration specialists to gather evidence of legitimate travel purposes, ties to the home country, and compliance with all legal obligations. Iqra drafts petitions that request interim relief, ensuring the client can travel while the substantive issue is adjudicated. The advocate maintains clear, frequent communication, explaining procedural steps and setting realistic expectations.

Clients praise Iqra for swift action and decisive outcomes. The lawyer has successfully secured the release of passports in high‑profile cases, obtained interim orders that permitted travel pending final resolution, and achieved Supreme Court rulings that set precedents for future NRI travel‑restriction disputes. By combining meticulous research with persuasive advocacy, Iqra promises a focused effort toward restoring your freedom of movement.

If your passport has been seized or you face travel bans, you need a lawyer who knows how to navigate writ petitions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and can take the matter to the Supreme Court of India when necessary.
