Kavisha Chadha

Profile description

An NRI facing a criminal complaint, a property fraud allegation, or a passport impounding order often feels isolated by distance and unfamiliar legal terrain. Kavisha Chadha provides focused advocacy that bridges that gap, handling NRI criminal complaint defence, NRI property fraud defence, and NRI passport impounding writ petitions. The lawyer’s practice is built around the challenges NRIs encounter in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, the Supreme Court of India.

Defending an NRI against a criminal complaint begins with a thorough assessment of the accusation, the evidence obtained abroad, and the procedural posture of the case. Chadha regularly assists clients in contesting the jurisdiction of the complaint, questioning the reliability of overseas statements, and filing detailed counter‑affidavits. By presenting a well‑structured defence that demonstrates lack of intent or mistaken identity, the advocate often achieves case dismissals or favorable settlements, allowing the client to resume life overseas.

Property fraud involving NRIs typically includes allegations of forged title deeds, illegal transfers, or misrepresentation in real‑estate deals. The lawyer scrutinises land records, registration documents, and transaction histories to uncover discrepancies. Chadha’s expertise in both Indian property law and the specific concerns of NRIs enables the filing of robust defence petitions that challenge the validity of the prosecution’s claims. Successful outcomes include court orders that restore property rights and provide compensation for wrongful allegations.

When a passport is impounded, the NRI’s ability to travel is severely restricted. Chadha’s practice includes filing writ petitions to challenge such impoundments, arguing that the action exceeds statutory limits or lacks proper justification. By presenting evidence of the client’s clean record, compliance with court orders, and the undue hardship caused, the advocate often secures court orders for the release of the passport, reinstating the client’s freedom of movement.

All matters are initially heard before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. If an appeal or a point of law arises, Chadha is prepared to take the case to the Supreme Court of India, ensuring that the client’s rights are protected at the highest level. The lawyer’s thorough preparation includes drafting precise pleadings, gathering supporting documents from abroad, and coordinating with consular officials when required.

Clear communication is central to Chadha’s service. The lawyer provides regular updates, translates legal terminology into understandable language, and advises on the documentation needed from the client’s country of residence. This approach reduces uncertainty and empowers clients to make informed decisions.

If you are an NRI confronting a criminal complaint, property fraud allegation, or passport impounding order, Kavisha Chadha offers dedicated expertise, strategic advocacy, and a commitment to achieving the best possible resolution for your cross‑border legal challenges.
