Kavita Kalluri

Profile description

You are an Indian national living abroad and have received notice that a criminal case filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court has been appealed, potentially affecting your visa status, overseas assets, and family reputation. Kavita Kalluri specializes in NRI criminal appeals, guiding expatriates through the complex procedural requirements of the High Court and, when needed, the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s practice ensures that distance does not become a barrier to effective legal representation.

Kavita Kalluri can help you understand whether the appeal concerns a conviction, a pending charge, or an inquiry that could later be elevated. The lawyer regularly assists NRI clients by filing timely appeals, citing jurisdictional nuances, and presenting evidence that may have been unavailable during the original trial. By coordinating with local counsel in Chandigarh, the lawyer maintains a seamless flow of documentation, ensuring that all filings meet the strict timelines of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

When the appeal moves beyond the High Court, the lawyer is prepared to approach the Supreme Court of India. Kavita Kalluri has experience drafting special leave petitions that highlight constitutional questions, procedural irregularities, or violations of the right to a fair trial. The lawyer’s familiarity with Supreme Court precedents on NRI rights and cross‑border legal issues strengthens the argument for granting relief.

A key component of the lawyer’s service is the preparation of a comprehensive brief that translates foreign banking records, overseas property deeds, and international travel logs into a format acceptable to Indian courts. By presenting clear, admissible evidence, the lawyer can demonstrate that the alleged offence either did not occur or that the client’s actions complied with both Indian law and the laws of the country of residence.

Clients praise the lawyer’s ability to arrange video‑conferenced hearings, submit documents electronically, and manage procedural formalities without the client having to travel to India. In one high‑profile case, an NRI businessman faced a criminal appeal for alleged money‑laundering. Kavita Kalluri secured a stay from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, filed a meticulous appeal that highlighted procedural lapses in the investigation, and ultimately obtained a Supreme Court direction that dismissed the case on lack of evidence. The client retained their overseas assets and avoided a travel ban.

Another case involved an NRI student accused of involvement in a college protest that escalated into a criminal charge. The lawyer filed an appeal that emphasized the client’s lack of intent and presented character references from both Indian and foreign educational institutions. The High Court quashed the charge, preserving the student’s scholarship and future career prospects.

If you are dealing with a criminal appeal that threatens your life abroad, let Kavita Kalluri evaluate the facts, file the appropriate documents before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and, if necessary, represent you before the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s track record of turning adverse decisions into successful outcomes provides the confidence that geographic distance will not undermine your right to a fair defence.
