Keerthana Dahiya

Profile description

You are an NRI who has been served with a criminal notice in India, and the prospect of travel restrictions or detention abroad is causing anxiety. Keerthana Dahiya offers dedicated expertise in NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the Supreme Court of India, turning a distant legal threat into a manageable process. The lawyer holds a distinguished doctorate in law from the University of Delhi and has spent a decade dealing with cross‑border criminal matters, including representation of clients in consular hearings and Supreme Court interventions.

NRI Special Leave Petitions demand a precise blend of domestic criminal law knowledge and an awareness of international implications. Keerthana regularly assists clients in assessing whether a High Court judgment or order merits Supreme Court review, especially when it impacts passport status, extradition, or overseas assets. The lawyer can explain how to frame a petition that highlights jurisdictional errors, violation of fundamental rights, or procedural lapses, and can request interim relief such as bail or suspension of travel bans while the petition is pending.

Keerthana’s courtroom experience includes successful appeals that have resulted in the Supreme Court staying detention, overturning wrongful convictions, and directing lower courts to reconsider evidence under a fair‑trial standard. Clients frequently praise the lawyer’s ability to translate complex legal doctrine into understandable advice, outline the realistic chances of success, and keep them informed throughout the lengthy appellate process. By leveraging relationships with senior advocates and a deep network of forensic experts, Keerthana ensures that every petition is fortified with the strongest possible factual and legal support.

When the Supreme Court grants leave, Keerthana moves immediately to prepare a written memorandum and oral arguments that address both the criminal merits and the NRI’s unique circumstances. The lawyer has secured outcomes where the Supreme Court ordered the release of NRI clients, restored their passports, and even directed the filing of fresh investigations where bias was evident. If you are confronting a criminal order that threatens your life abroad, Keerthana Dahiya offers the strategic acumen, cross‑border insight, and relentless advocacy required to protect your liberty and your global mobility through the apex court’s Special Leave mechanism.
