Jasraj Khanna

Profile description

Facing a criminal case while living abroad can feel overwhelming. You may have received a look‑out circular, a proclamation of offender order, or a notice that an NRI court proceeding has started in Punjab and Haryana High Court. In that moment, the right advocate can turn a confusing scramble into a clear plan of action. Jasraj Khanna is a seasoned criminal lawyer who focuses exclusively on NRI matters before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and the practice is built around turning urgent cross‑border problems into resolvable outcomes.

Jasraj Khanna graduated with a law degree from Panjab University and has spent more than two decades representing non‑resident Indians in high‑stakes criminal proceedings. The lawyer’s daily work begins with a precise assessment of the client’s situation, whether the issue stems from a look‑out circular, a property fraud allegation, or a matrimonial dispute that has taken a criminal turn. By filing a Look Out Circular Writ Petition, Jasraj Khanna can request the court to withdraw or stay the circular that often triggers an arrest or an overseas travel restriction. The lawyer’s familiarity with the procedural nuances of the Punjab and Haryana High Court enables swift drafting, filing, and follow‑up, giving clients an early chance to breathe while the case moves forward.

When a proclamation of offender or a proclaimed offender order is issued against an NRI, the stakes rise dramatically. Jasraj Khanna routinely handles NRI Quashing of Proclamation and Proclaimed Offender Orders, arguing that the order was issued without proper service or factual basis. The lawyer’s approach combines meticulous fact‑finding with a powerful presentation of jurisdictional arguments, often leading the court to set aside the proclamation and restore the client’s freedom to travel and conduct business without fear of detention.

Anticipatory bail is another critical tool for NRIs who fear arrest while abroad. Jasraj Khanna can help secure NRI Anticipatory Bail by demonstrating to the Punjab and Haryana High Court that the alleged offence does not warrant pre‑emptive custody. The lawyer’s experience includes successful anticipatory bail applications that have kept clients out of detention rooms, allowing them to continue their professional and family responsibilities overseas.

Defending a criminal complaint filed against an NRI requires a strategic blend of factual rebuttal and procedural safeguards. Jasraj Khanna regularly assists NRI Criminal Complaint Defence, scrutinizing the complaint for errors, lack of evidence, or jurisdictional flaws. By filing timely applications and presenting strong evidentiary support, the lawyer often achieves dismissals or favorable settlements that protect the client’s reputation and assets.

Matrimonial disputes that evolve into criminal proceedings are especially delicate. Jasraj Khanna’s work in NRI Matrimonial Criminal Proceedings includes safeguarding clients from false allegations of cruelty, dowry harassment, or domestic violence that may be weaponized in divorce or separation cases. The lawyer’s skill lies in balancing the emotional sensitivity of family law with the rigor of criminal defence, ensuring that the court focuses on the merits rather than on sensational claims.

Property fraud allegations against NRIs can jeopardize substantial investments. Jasraj Khanna has defended numerous NRI Property Fraud cases, challenging forged documents, mistaken identities, and corrupt local officials. By presenting clear title evidence, expert testimony, and cross‑examining witnesses, the lawyer has helped clients retain ownership and avoid costly losses.

Finally, when a lower‑court decision does not go in the client’s favor, Jasraj Khanna takes the fight to the appellate stage. The lawyer’s NRI Criminal Appeals practice is anchored in a deep understanding of appellate standards and precedents in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Whether appealing a conviction, a bail order, or a quashing decision, the lawyer crafts concise, persuasive grounds for review that have resulted in reversed judgments and restored rights.

Across all these practice areas, Jasraj Khanna’s method remains client‑focused: clear communication, realistic expectations, and relentless advocacy. The lawyer keeps families informed, translates complex legal jargon into understandable language, and works with overseas partners to coordinate evidence and testimony. For NRIs confronting any of these criminal challenges, the assurance of a dedicated, experienced lawyer who knows the Punjab and Haryana High Court inside out can be the difference between a protracted nightmare and a swift, favorable resolution.
