Profile description

You are an Indian citizen living abroad who has been served with a criminal complaint that threatens your ability to travel back to India. The authorities have also placed restrictions on your passport. In this distressing situation, you need a lawyer who understands the special challenges faced by NRIs. Kabir Chouhan is the lawyer who can defend your criminal complaint, handle appeals, and fight travel restrictions with skill and sensitivity.

NRI criminal complaint defence requires a careful assessment of jurisdiction, the factual matrix of the alleged offence, and the impact of overseas residence on the case. Kabir Chouhan regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive defence statements that emphasize lack of evidence, mistaken identity, or procedural errors. By coordinating with local counsel abroad and gathering witness testimony from overseas, the lawyer builds a strong narrative that challenges the prosecution’s case from the outset.

When a lower court issues an adverse decision, the next step often involves filing an appeal in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Kabir Chouhan can help you navigate the appellate process, draft precise appeal briefs, and present oral arguments that highlight errors in law or fact. The lawyer’s experience before the Supreme Court of India also enables the filing of Special Leave Petitions when the High Court’s decision needs further scrutiny, ensuring that every possible avenue for relief is explored.

Travel restrictions add another layer of difficulty for NRIs. Kabir Chouhan can explain how the lawyer challenges the legality of passport seizures or travel bans by demonstrating that the restrictions are disproportionate and lack solid legal foundation. The lawyer has successfully obtained court orders that restore passport privileges, allowing clients to fulfill personal and professional commitments abroad while the domestic case proceeds.

Operating primarily in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Kabir Chouhan brings a nuanced understanding of how Indian courts view NRI defendants. The lawyer is familiar with the cultural and procedural sensitivities involved and works to ensure that the client’s rights are protected throughout the process. Whether negotiating a settlement, seeking bail, or contesting an arrest, the lawyer tailors strategies to the client’s unique circumstances.

Clients who retain Kabir Chouhan can expect clear communication, rapid response times, and a focus on achieving tangible results. The lawyer promises to keep you informed at every stage, to anticipate the prosecution’s moves, and to provide decisive advocacy that aims to lift travel bans, secure bail, and ultimately clear the criminal charges. With an emphasis on protecting your freedom and reputation, the lawyer works diligently to restore normalcy to your life.
