Kanwar Kashyap

Profile description

If you are an NRI caught in a matrimonial dispute that has escalated into criminal allegations, you need a lawyer who can secure anticipatory bail and protect your rights in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if needed, before the Supreme Court of India. Kanwar Kashyap specialises in navigating the delicate overlap between family and criminal law for Indians living abroad, offering a focused defence that addresses both the personal and legal dimensions of the case.

Kanwar Kashyap regularly assists clients in filing anticipatory bail applications when a non‑bailable warrant is likely to be issued. The lawyer prepares a thorough dossier that includes character certificates, proof of residence abroad, and evidence of willingness to cooperate with Indian investigators. By highlighting the client’s lack of flight risk and the possibility of settling matters through mediation, the lawyer argues that arrest would be unnecessary and counter‑productive. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer has obtained numerous interim bail orders, allowing clients to remain free while the investigation proceeds. When a High Court decision does not grant relief, the lawyer can swiftly raise a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India, seeking a broader protection.

The lawyer also handles NRI matrimonial criminal proceedings, where allegations such as dowry harassment, cruelty or false criminal complaints arise from a marital dispute. Kanwar Kashyap can help clients contest these charges by filing counter‑petitions, gathering documentary evidence of marriage settlement, and securing witness statements from abroad. The lawyer works closely with family law experts to demonstrate that the criminal case is a misuse of the legal system. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer has successfully defended clients against false dowry claims, obtaining dismissals and, in several instances, directing the police to investigate the complainant for false filing. If the High Court ruling is challenged, the lawyer is prepared to take the matter to the Supreme Court of India for final relief.

Kanwar Kashyap brings over ten years of experience representing NRI clients in both criminal and matrimonial matters. A graduate of a distinguished law university, the lawyer began practice in a prominent law firm that specialised in cross‑border disputes, later founding an independent boutique focused on NRI defence. The lawyer has secured more than twenty anticipatory bail orders and has a track record of overturning matrimonial criminal charges in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Recognised for strategic advocacy, the lawyer has also argued before the Supreme Court of India, earning praise for clear presentation and thorough legal research.

The lawyer’s approach centres on transparent communication and swift action. From the first consultation, the lawyer outlines the procedural roadmap, identifies whether the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India offers the most effective forum, and sets realistic expectations for each stage. Regular updates are provided through secure online meetings, ensuring the client remains informed despite time‑zone differences. The lawyer also liaises with foreign counselors, forensic experts and local police to strengthen the defence. By combining aggressive courtroom tactics with a compassionate understanding of family dynamics, the lawyer aims to protect both the client’s liberty and personal reputation.
