Keerthana Sabharwal

Profile description

An NRI facing a criminal complaint or a matrimonial dispute that has taken a criminal turn may feel trapped between two legal systems. Keerthana Sabharwal offers focused representation for NRI clients in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, handling look‑out circulars, criminal complaint defence, and matrimonial criminal proceedings.

The advocate earned a law degree from Panjab University, followed by a postgraduate diploma in international criminal law. Over ten years of practice, Keerthana Sabharwal has built a niche in cross‑border criminal matters, assisting NRIs who are sued or investigated while residing abroad.

When a look‑out circular is issued against an NRI, the lawyer first verifies the jurisdictional basis of the order. Keerthana Sabharwal can explain how the High Court’s power to issue a circular interacts with the client’s overseas location and can file a petition to stay or quash the order pending a detailed review. The advocate’s familiarity with precedent helps in arguing that the procedural safeguards afforded to residents must equally protect NRIs.

Defending a criminal complaint lodged by Indian authorities against an NRI requires meticulous preparation. The lawyer reviews the FIR, gathers evidence from overseas, and coordinates with foreign counsel to obtain documents such as bank statements, travel records, and communications. Keerthana Sabharwal can articulate why certain allegations lack factual basis or how jurisdictional issues should preclude prosecution. In several recent cases, the advocate secured interim relief that prevented arrest or extradition, allowing the client to continue professional activities abroad.

NRI matrimonial disputes that have escalated into criminal proceedings pose unique challenges. The lawyer assists clients in navigating sections of the Indian Penal Code that are invoked in domestic violence or cruelty complaints while also protecting matrimonial rights. Keerthana Sabharwal can file writ petitions, seek protective orders, and negotiate settlements that address both criminal and civil aspects of the dispute.

The advocate’s approach blends thorough legal analysis with practical guidance. Keerthana Sabharwal conducts confidential consultations, outlines the procedural roadmap, and keeps the client informed of each filing and hearing. While the outcome of any case depends on the facts and judicial discretion, the lawyer’s proven ability to obtain stays, dismissals, and favorable judgments for NRIs showcases a strong capability to safeguard rights across borders.

If you are an NRI facing a criminal complaint, look‑out circular, or matrimonial criminal case, a discussion with this lawyer can clarify the legal terrain, identify defence strategies, and set a practical plan for protecting your interests in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
