Mamta Brar

Profile description

Suppose you have been declared a proclaimed offender by a court in India while you are living abroad, and now a proclamation order is restricting your assets and travel. Mamta Brar, a lawyer based in Chandigarh, specializes in quashing proclamation and proclaimed offender orders for NRIs before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, providing a vital defense for citizens who cannot be present in person.

Mamta Brar earned an LL.B. from Panjab University and completed a Master’s in Criminal Law from the International Institute of Law, Singapore. With more than thirteen years of practice, the lawyer has become a recognized advocate for NRIs facing severe legal actions that emanate from Indian courts. The lawyer’s deep familiarity with High Court procedures and the specific statutes governing proclamation orders enables fast and effective interventions.

When a proclamation is issued, the immediate impact includes the freezing of bank accounts, seizure of assets, and the issuance of notices to banks and other institutions. Mamta Brar can file a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, seeking a quash of the proclamation order on grounds such as lack of jurisdiction, absence of a valid charge sheet, or violations of due process. The lawyer meticulously gathers evidence from abroad, including affidavits, employment records, and proof of residence, to demonstrate that the client is not a flight risk and that the order is unwarranted.

In many instances, the lawyer also addresses the related proclaimed offender order, which can further jeopardize the client’s reputation and financial stability. By presenting a comprehensive challenge that tackles both orders simultaneously, Mamta Brar has secured relief that restores the client’s ability to conduct banking transactions, own property, and travel without fear of detention.

The lawyer regularly assists clients who are unaware of the procedural complexities involved in responding to a proclamation. Mamta Brar explains the steps required to obtain a certified copy of the order, the timeline for filing a challenge, and the potential outcomes. The lawyer also coordinates with Indian consulates to ensure that the client receives necessary documentation for any travel requirements imposed by the high court.

Success stories include the quashing of a proclamation that had immobilized a family’s overseas investments worth several crores, and the reversal of a proclaimed offender order that had led to the wrongful issuance of a non‑bailable warrant. The lawyer’s strategic use of precedents, combined with persuasive oral arguments, has been praised by senior judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Recognition for the lawyer’s contributions includes an award for Excellence in NRI Criminal Defense from the Chandigarh Bar Association and frequent invitations to speak at legal seminars on cross‑border criminal matters. The lawyer also publishes articles on protecting NRIs against unlawful proclamations, reinforcing a commitment to education and advocacy.

If a proclamation or proclaimed offender order is affecting your life while you reside overseas, Mamta Brar can assess the merits of a quash petition, outline the procedural roadmap, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s blend of specialized knowledge, courtroom experience, and a client‑centered approach offers a reliable path toward restoring your rights and peace of mind.
