Jasraj Bora

Profile description

You are an NRI who has been summoned to Chandigarh for a criminal proceeding that also involves a matrimonial dispute, or you have received an appeal notice in a case that began while you were living abroad. Jasraj Bora specializes in NRI matrimonial criminal proceedings and NRI criminal appeals, offering a bridge between Indian courts and overseas clients.

Bora completed an LL.B. at Panjab University and later earned a Master of Laws in International Criminal Law from the University of London. Over fourteen years, the lawyer has focused on cross‑border criminal matters, guiding clients through the procedural maze of the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and, when required, the Supreme Court of India. The advocate has successfully represented more than a hundred NRI clients, securing favorable outcomes in both matrimonial and criminal contexts.

When an NRI client contacts the lawyer, the first discussion centers on the nature of the allegations and the jurisdictional nuances that apply to individuals residing abroad. Bora can explain how Indian law treats matrimonial criminal matters – for example, cases involving domestic violence, bigamy, or false accusation – and how the court may issue orders that affect property, custody, or travel. The lawyer then coordinates with the client’s overseas counsel, drafts necessary affidavits, and ensures that documents are properly authenticated for filing in Chandigarh.

In criminal appeals, the advocate leverages extensive experience before the High Court and Supreme Court to challenge convictions or sentencing orders that were rendered while the client was outside India. Bora routinely prepares detailed appeal petitions that cite procedural lapses, misinterpretation of evidence, or violation of constitutional rights. The lawyer also works closely with the client’s family to arrange for the presentation of fresh evidence, such as forensic reports or witness statements that were unavailable during the original trial.

Bora’s approach emphasizes clear communication across time zones. The advocate uses secure video conferencing and encrypted document exchange to keep the client informed at every stage. Success stories include obtaining a reversal of a murder‑related conviction for a client living in Canada after proving a critical alibi that was overlooked, and securing a protective order for an NRI woman facing marital abuse while she was residing in the United Kingdom. These outcomes underscore the lawyer’s ability to combine legal strategy with cultural sensitivity.

If you are an NRI confronted with a criminal or matrimonial dispute that has landed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court or has escalated to the Supreme Court of India, Jasraj Bora can help you protect your rights, preserve your assets, and achieve a fair resolution. The lawyer’s deep knowledge of cross‑border criminal law and proven appellate record make Bora a reliable ally for Indians living abroad.
