Kriti Joshi

Profile description

If you are an Indian student studying in Canada and learn that a criminal complaint filed in India is being escalated to the Supreme Court, the distance and legal unfamiliarity can create intense worry. Kriti Joshi focuses on assisting NRI clients in these high‑stakes situations and can guide you through filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) to seek relief from the apex bench.

The lawyer has cultivated a niche in NRI criminal appeals over a twelve‑year career. After earning a first‑class degree from a top Indian law college, Kriti pursued a postgraduate diploma in International Criminal Procedure in the United Kingdom. This combination of Indian legal grounding and international exposure enables the lawyer to interpret Supreme Court precedents and apply them effectively to cases that involve foreign jurisdictions.

Kriti regularly assists NRI families in drafting comprehensive SLPs, gathering passports, police reports, and bank statements from abroad, and coordinating with senior advocates at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer can clarify the Supreme Court’s threshold for special leave, such as a clear error of law or a substantial injustice, and can help you present a concise, well‑supported argument that demonstrates why the lower court’s decision should be revisited.

The lawyer’s strategy emphasizes early intervention and thorough documentation. By filing interim applications, Kriti can pause any ongoing investigation while the SLP is under consideration, buying valuable time for the client to organize evidence from overseas. The lawyer also leverages relationships with Supreme Court bench lawyers to ensure that the petition receives focused attention during the limited hearing window. Clients often note that this proactive stance reduces uncertainty and improves the odds of a favorable outcome.

In the past four years Kriti has secured special leave in more than twenty cases, including a landmark decision where the Supreme Court overturned a conviction based on a video confession that had been recorded without legal counsel present abroad. Another notable success involved obtaining a stay on a travel ban, allowing the client to return to India for a critical family event. The lawyer’s fee policy is transparent, with a clear breakdown of costs for filing, drafting, and court appearances.

Clients consistently comment on Kriti’s clear communication style and the ability to translate complex legal language into plain English. Video conferences scheduled at convenient times ensure that the client stays informed despite different time zones. The lawyer also provides a written summary after each court appearance, outlining next steps and potential risks. This level of detail helps NRI families feel confident that their case is being handled with expertise and compassion.

Whether you need to file a special leave petition, challenge a lower‑court order, or simply understand your options, Kriti Joshi can help you navigate the Supreme Court’s procedures with confidence. The lawyer’s proven track record, meticulous preparation, and dedication to protecting NRI rights often make the difference between a dismissed petition and a life‑changing reversal.

The lawyer also offers flexible payment options tailored for clients earning in foreign currency, ensuring that cost does not become a barrier to justice. By reviewing the case file in detail during an initial no‑obligation meeting, the lawyer can immediately identify strong points and potential weaknesses, saving time and resources. Choosing Kriti Joshi means partnering with a dedicated advocate who understands both Indian law and the unique challenges faced by the diaspora.
