Mitali Dar

Profile description

Imagine waking up to a notification that a court in India has declared you a proclaimed offender while you are living overseas. The news can freeze assets, disrupt travel, and strain family ties. Mitali Dar specializes in dismantling such proclamations, defending property fraud allegations, and navigating the intricate process of filing special leave petitions and appeals for non‑resident Indians.

Mitali Dar holds a distinguished law degree and completed a postgraduate specialization in criminal law. Over fourteen years of practice have been devoted to high‑stakes NRI criminal matters. The lawyer began the career as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, quickly building a reputation for tenacious defence work. A subsequent stint at a leading law house allowed the lawyer to manage multi‑jurisdictional cases involving property fraud and cross‑border financial disputes.

When a proclamation order threatens a client’s freedom, Mitali Dar conducts a forensic review of the underlying police report and the legal basis for the order. The lawyer prepares a detailed petition to quash the proclamation, citing procedural lapses, lack of substantive evidence, and the client’s cooperation with law enforcement. The lawyer’s arguments often persuade the High Court to lift the proclamation, restoring the client’s ability to travel and access assets.

In parallel, the lawyer tackles property fraud accusations that target NRI-owned real estate. By analysing land records, title documents, and transaction histories, Mitali Dar builds a defence that demonstrates legitimate ownership and counters fraudulent claims. The lawyer works closely with forensic accountants and local registrars to present a solid factual matrix before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Successful outcomes have included dismissal of fraud charges and protection of valuable property holdings.

If either the High Court or a lower tribunal rejects the client’s relief, Mitali Dar moves the battle to the Supreme Court of India through a special leave petition. The lawyer drafts a compelling narrative that highlights legal errors, violation of natural justice, or fresh evidence uncovered after the initial hearing. By presenting concise grounds for review, the lawyer has secured special leave in numerous instances, allowing a full appeal that often overturns the adverse decision.

Clients praise Mitali Dar for clear explanations and a calm, strategic approach during what can feel like an endless legal maze. The lawyer maintains regular communication, briefs clients on procedural milestones, and coordinates with foreign counsel to ensure that overseas evidence is admissible. With a proven record of quashing proclamations, defending property rights, and winning appellate relief, Mitali Dar offers NRIs a steadfast ally against criminal accusations that span continents.
