Jahnabi Shetty

Profile description

Imagine discovering that an NRI property transaction you trusted is being questioned as fraudulent, and authorities have begun freezing assets while you are abroad. Jahnabi Shetty is the advocate who can protect your interests. Based in Chandigarh, the lawyer specialises in defending NRIs against property fraud accusations before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.

Property fraud cases often involve complex layers of documentation, cross‑border financial flows, and intricate statutory provisions. Jahnabi Shetty regularly assists clients in filing robust defence petitions that challenge the validity of the fraud allegations. The lawyer’s method begins with a forensic audit of the transaction, gathering evidence that demonstrates legitimate ownership, proper due‑diligence, and compliance with Indian property law. By presenting this evidence in a clear, concise manner, the lawyer aims to persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to dismiss the fraud claim at the earliest stage.

When the matter escalates, the lawyer is prepared to take the fight to the Supreme Court of India. Jahnabi Shetty has successfully argued appeals that overturn adverse orders from the high court, citing precedent where similar transactions were upheld. The lawyer’s experience includes drafting compelling special leave petitions, securing leave to appeal, and presenting oral arguments that focus on procedural irregularities, jurisdictional errors, and the misinterpretation of statutory provisions governing NRI property ownership.

Beyond courtroom advocacy, the lawyer provides strategic guidance to prevent future disputes. Jahnabi Shetty can help NRIs structure transactions, conduct due‑diligence checks, and secure proper documentation before any purchase or sale. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of fraud accusations and safeguards assets against unwarranted legal actions.

Clients consistently commend the lawyer’s transparent communication, meticulous preparation, and swift response to urgent legal threats. From the initial confidential consultation, the lawyer explains the procedural roadmap, possible outcomes, and the timeline for relief. Throughout the process, the lawyer keeps clients updated on filings, court dates, and any developments in the case. Whether you need an immediate defence against a property fraud claim, an appeal before the Supreme Court, or strategic advice to protect future transactions, Jahnabi Shetty offers the expertise and dedication required to safeguard your rights as an NRI.
