Jinal Bora

Profile description

A proclamation order labeling you as a proclaimed offender can disrupt your life abroad, block bank transactions, and prevent international travel. Jinal Bora concentrates on dismantling such orders for non‑resident Indians and on presenting the case before the highest judicial forum when necessary.

Jinal Bora completed a law degree at a nationally recognized university and pursued a master’s in criminal law. The lawyer has amassed more than thirteen years of experience, beginning as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Early practice involved assisting senior lawyers in bail and proclamation matters, providing a deep understanding of procedural intricacies. The lawyer later joined a specialised firm that focuses on cross‑border criminal defence, sharpening expertise in NRI-specific challenges.

When a client receives a proclamation, Jinal Bora conducts a thorough review of the police report, charge sheet, and any supporting documents. The lawyer looks for procedural deficiencies, such as improper service of notice or lack of substantive evidence linking the client to the alleged offence. By filing a petition to quash the proclamation, the lawyer argues that the client’s overseas residence, stable employment, and community ties eliminate any flight risk.

The lawyer assembles essential supporting material, including affidavits from family members, employment verification letters, and proof of property ownership in India. These documents are presented to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a clear, concise format. In many cases, the High Court has granted the petition, rescinding the proclamation and restoring the client’s ability to travel and transact financially.

If the High Court declines to set aside the order, Jinal Bora does not stop there. The lawyer prepares a special leave petition for the Supreme Court of India, highlighting legal errors, violation of natural justice, and any newly discovered evidence. The lawyer’s well‑drafted petitions have secured special leave on several occasions, allowing a full appeal that frequently results in the Supreme Court overturning the proclamation.

Clients repeatedly commend Jinal Bora for transparent communication and a calm, methodical approach. The lawyer ensures that overseas counsel is involved, guaranteeing that foreign documents satisfy Indian evidentiary standards. By combining meticulous case preparation, strategic courtroom advocacy, and persistent pursuit of appellate remedies, Jinal Bora provides NRIs with a dependable defence against the severe consequences of proclamation orders.
