Manish Thampi

Profile description

Imagine receiving a notice that you have been declared a proclaimed offender in India, while at the same time a civil case alleges that you have defrauded family property, and you fear immediate arrest if you return. For an NRI, these combined threats can jeopardize personal safety, business interests, and the ability to travel. Manish Thampi offers specialized expertise in quashing proclamation orders, securing anticipatory bail, and defending against property fraud accusations before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Manish Thampi regularly assists clients in filing petitions to annul proclamation and proclaimed offender orders. The lawyer reviews the notice, identifies procedural irregularities, and gathers evidence that the order was issued without a proper investigation. By presenting detailed affidavits, supporting documents, and relevant case law, the lawyer can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to set aside the proclamation, thereby restoring the client’s legal standing and eliminating the stigma of a criminal label. The lawyer also prepares a comprehensive response to the prosecution, highlighting any lack of jurisdiction over an NRI resident.

When an NRI anticipates arrest due to an ongoing investigation, securing anticipatory bail becomes crucial. Manish Thampi is skilled at drafting anticipatory bail applications that demonstrate the client’s strong ties abroad, lack of flight risk, and willingness to cooperate with authorities. The lawyer emphasizes humanitarian considerations and the undue hardship that detention would cause to the client’s family and business. In several cases, the anticipatory bail was granted within days, allowing the client to remain free while cooperating with investigators.

Property fraud allegations against NRIs often involve complex documentation and cross‑border transactions. Manish Thampi can help by scrutinising title records, examining financial trails, and exposing any procedural flaws in the investigation. The lawyer prepares robust defence statements, challenges the credibility of the complainant, and files applications for interim relief to prevent seizure of assets abroad. The lawyer also seeks injunctions to stop any further filing of criminal complaints until the factual record is clarified. Clients have benefited from the withdrawal of criminal complaints and the preservation of their property rights.

The lawyer brings over thirteen years of experience in NRI criminal defence.
