Manya Kapur

Profile description

Imagine returning home after years abroad only to discover a proclamation labeling you as a proclaimed offender, a criminal complaint filed without your presence, or a travel ban that prevents you from leaving the country. Manya Kapur understands how each of these scenarios can disrupt personal and professional life, and the lawyer offers comprehensive solutions within the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Manya Kapur earned a law degree from the University of Delhi and a postgraduate diploma in International Criminal Law from the University of London. With fourteen years of practice, the lawyer has built a niche in representing NRIs across three critical fronts: quashing proclamations, defending criminal complaints, and challenging foreign travel restrictions.

When a proclamation is issued, the lawyer’s first task is to assess whether the order was issued in compliance with the Criminal Procedure Code. Manya Kapur regularly assists clients in filing petitions under Section 107 of the Code, presenting evidence that disproves the alleged offence and demonstrating that the proclamation was unnecessary. The lawyer’s meticulous preparation often results in the High Court ordering an immediate reversal, allowing the client to travel and access assets without hindrance.

In the arena of NRI Criminal Complaint Defence, Manya Kapur conducts a thorough review of the complaint, scrutinizes the jurisdictional claim, and files applications for discharge or stay of proceedings when procedural defects are identified. The lawyer’s skill in cross‑examining investigative reports and securing expert testimonies has led to numerous dismissals of unfounded charges, sparing clients from prolonged litigation and potential conviction.

Travel bans imposed on NRIs for alleged security reasons can feel arbitrary. Manya Kapur tackles NRI Challenges to Foreign Travel Restrictions by filing writ petitions that argue the violation of fundamental rights, especially the right to move freely under Article 21 of the Constitution. The lawyer works closely with foreign consulates and leverages diplomatic channels to reinforce the petition, often securing interim orders that lift the restriction while the case is examined.

Clients consistently praise Manya Kapur for clear communication and strategic foresight. The lawyer can explain the sequence of filings, the expected timeline for each hearing, and the practical steps that clients should take to protect their interests, such as retaining original documents and maintaining a robust paper trail. By combining courtroom advocacy with proactive advisory services, Manya ensures that each client’s case is approached holistically.

The lawyer’s success stories include a high‑profile case where a proclamation was quashed within weeks, an instance where a criminal complaint was dismissed on the basis of jurisdictional error, and a travel ban lifted after the High Court recognized the petitioner’s right to international mobility. These outcomes reflect Manya Kapur’s dedication to achieving swift, decisive relief for NRI clients.

If you are facing any of these legal challenges, Manya Kapur can help you navigate the procedural landscape of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, providing a clear path toward restoring your legal standing and peace of mind.
