Profile description

You have learned that a proclamation has been issued against you while you reside abroad, and the news has left you worried about possible arrest and loss of passport. Meher Kondapalli appears as a dedicated advocate ready to protect your rights. Specialising in the quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders, criminal appeals and passport‑impounding writ petitions, the lawyer knows the exact steps required before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to overturn such severe orders.

Meher Kondapalli brings more than twelve years of experience defending NRI clients against wrongful proclamations. The lawyer regularly assists families who discover that a proclamation has been filed in their absence, filing urgent writ petitions that challenge the legal foundation of the order and demand its immediate cancellation. Successful interventions have resulted in the removal of offender status and the restoration of freedom for clients who were otherwise facing extradition.

In parallel, the lawyer handles criminal appeals for NRI defendants whose convictions were pronounced in Indian courts while they were overseas. Meher Kondapalli prepares comprehensive appellate briefs, gathers fresh evidence and presents oral arguments that convince the High Court to reconsider the findings. Recent victories include the reversal of convictions on grounds of procedural lapse and insufficient proof.

Passport impounding is another critical battlefield. When authorities seize an NRI’s passport, the lawyer swiftly files a writ petition that argues unlawful seizure and requests the court’s order to return the travel document. Meher Kondapalli has secured hundreds of passport restitutions, allowing clients to travel for medical emergencies, business or family reunions without delay.

For anyone confronting a proclamation, a criminal appeal or a passport impoundment, Meher Kondapalli can explain the legal remedies, file the appropriate petitions and fight tirelessly in the Punjab and Haryana High Court to protect liberty, reputation and the right to travel.
