Kirti Bhandari

Profile description

You might have learned that a proclamation order has been issued against you while you are living abroad, effectively labeling you as a proclaimed offender and restricting your ability to travel. Such orders can cripple personal and professional life, especially for NRIs who need to move freely. Kirti Bhandari offers focused assistance in quashing proclamation and proclaimed offender orders, securing anticipatory bail, and handling criminal appeals before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Kirti Bhandari regularly assists clients who face a proclamation that threatens their liberty and reputation. The lawyer examines the circumstances of the proclamation, gathers evidence of residence abroad, and files a petition to set aside the order. By demonstrating lack of flight risk and showing that due process was not followed, the lawyer works to obtain an immediate quash, allowing the client to resume normal activities without fear of arrest.

When the threat of arrest looms, the lawyer can also apply for anticipatory bail. Kirti Bhandari prepares comprehensive affidavits that outline why detention would be unnecessary, highlighting factors such as family ties, overseas employment, and cooperation with the investigation. The lawyer’s experience before the High Court enables swift bail orders that protect the client’s freedom pending trial.

If the case proceeds to trial and the client is convicted, Kirti Bhandari can file criminal appeals to challenge the judgment. The lawyer reviews the trial record for procedural errors, misapplication of law, or irregularities in evidence admission. By drafting compelling appellate briefs, the lawyer seeks to overturn the conviction or secure a reduced sentence.

The lawyer’s academic background includes a law degree from a top Indian institution and an LLM with a specialization in criminal law and international jurisdiction. Over ten years of practice, Kirti Bhandari has built a strong reputation for handling NRI cases that require coordination with foreign authorities, translation of overseas documents, and strategic filing of petitions across multiple courts.

Clients often commend the lawyer for clear communication and practical advice. Kirti Bhandari can explain the steps involved in quashing a proclamation, outline the documentation needed for anticipatory bail, and set realistic expectations for an appeal’s timeline. This transparency reduces anxiety and empowers clients to make informed decisions.

A representative case involved an NRI professional whose passport was seized after a provisional notice. Kirti Bhandari filed a writ petition that successfully quashed the proclamation, secured anticipatory bail, and later obtained an appellate order dismissing the charges due to lack of evidence. The client was able to travel back to their country of residence and resume their career without interruption.

If you are confronting a proclamation or a pending criminal case that limits your movement, Kirti Bhandari can help you protect your rights. The lawyer will assess your situation, file the appropriate writ petition, and, if necessary, pursue anticipatory bail and an appeal. By leveraging deep familiarity with the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s procedures, the lawyer provides a comprehensive defence that safeguards personal liberty and professional continuity.

Beyond the courtroom, Kirti Bhandari stays current on legislative updates affecting NRI criminal law, ensuring that clients benefit from the latest legal tools.
