Profile description

You receive a notice that your Indian passport has been seized while you are living abroad, and you fear that travel plans and employment opportunities will be jeopardized. In that moment, Mithun Saini appears as a focused advocate who understands the urgency of reclaiming a passport that has been impounded by Indian authorities.

Mithun Saini brings more than a decade of hands‑on experience representing non‑resident Indians in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. After graduating from a premier law university and completing rigorous training at a leading corporate law firm, Saini chose to specialize in the interface between immigration law and criminal procedure. Over the years, Saini has successfully handled dozens of writ petitions that challenge arbitrary passport seizures, earning a reputation for swift, result‑oriented advocacy.

When a client approaches Saini with an impounded passport, the first step is to evaluate the legal ground for the seizure. The lawyer reviews the order issued by the passport authority, checks for procedural lapses, and prepares a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution to be filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Saini drafts a precise writ that seeks immediate restoration of the passport, argues that the impoundment violates fundamental rights, and highlights any lack of required notice. The advocate also coordinates with the Ministry of External Affairs to ensure that the client’s travel documents are returned without undue delay.

In the courtroom, Mithun Saini is known for clear, concise arguments that cut through technical jargon. The lawyer regularly assists clients by presenting supporting evidence, such as proof of residence abroad, employment contracts, and previous travel history. Saini’s familiarity with the High Court’s procedural nuances enables the filing of interim orders that prevent the passport from being used as leverage in unrelated investigations. Successful outcomes include immediate release of the passport, cancellation of the impounding order, and, in several cases, compensation for the inconvenience caused.

Clients repeatedly commend Saini for calm communication and a transparent strategy that keeps them informed at every stage. The lawyer can explain the likely timeline, outline the steps for filing a writ, and advise on additional safeguards to protect travel documents in the future. By combining thorough legal knowledge with a compassionate approach, Mithun Saini helps NRI clients navigate a stressful situation and regain the freedom to travel and work abroad.
