Jahnabi Tandon

Profile description

You are an NRI who has been charged with a criminal offence in India, and you are concerned about navigating a foreign legal system while thousands of miles away from home. You need a lawyer who understands the specific challenges faced by non‑resident Indians and can represent you effectively in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if required, in the Supreme Court of India. Jahnabi Tandon offers that dedicated expertise.

Jahnabi Tandon earned a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Chandigarh and a Master of Laws in International Criminal Law from the National Law School of India University. Over the past fifteen years, the advocate has represented numerous NRIs in criminal matters, gaining a reputation for bridging the gap between Indian procedural requirements and the realities of clients living abroad. The lawyer regularly assists clients in coordinating documentation, liaising with overseas counsel, and managing cross‑border evidence.

When an NRI faces a criminal charge, the first priority is to secure a robust defence that addresses jurisdictional concerns, procedural fairness, and evidentiary standards. Jahnabi Tandon can explain how the lawyer reviews the charge sheet, examines the validity of the summons, and files appropriate applications for quashing or stay of proceedings before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By highlighting any procedural defects, such as improper service or lack of jurisdiction, the advocate often secures a dismissal or postponement that gives the client time to organise a defence from abroad.

Appeals are a critical component of the NRI defence strategy. Jahnabi Tandon regularly helps clients prepare and file high‑court criminal appeals that challenge the trial court’s findings. The lawyer excels at drafting persuasive appellate briefs that reference both Indian criminal law and international human‑rights principles, ensuring that the appellant’s perspective is fully represented. In many cases, the advocate’s arguments have led to the reversal of convictions or the reduction of sentences.

When the matter escalates to the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer prepares Special Leave Petitions that articulate why the High Court’s decision should be revisited. Jahnabi Tandon leverages experience in Supreme Court practice to highlight constitutional issues, procedural lapses, and the broader implications for NRI rights. The lawyer’s track record includes several Supreme Court victories that have set precedents for the treatment of NRIs in criminal proceedings.

Clients frequently commend Jahnabi Tandon for clear communication, responsive support, and a deep understanding of the emotional and logistical challenges faced by NRIs. The advocate provides regular updates, arranges video consultations, and coordinates with overseas legal representatives to ensure a seamless defence. From the moment a charge is filed to the final judgment, this lawyer works diligently to protect your interests, safeguard your reputation, and achieve the most favourable outcome possible in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, in the Supreme Court of India.
