Myra Ranade

Profile description

An NRI who discovers that a criminal conviction has been upheld by a High Court may feel that every avenue for relief has closed. Myra Ranade offers a focused solution by taking such cases directly to the Supreme Court of India, where the final authority on legal questions resides. Specialising in NRI special leave petitions and appeals, the lawyer provides a clear route for clients who need the highest level of judicial intervention to protect their rights and future.

Myra Ranade regularly assists clients in drafting special leave petitions under Article 136, presenting strong grounds for the Supreme Court to revisit a lower‑court order. The lawyer scrutinises the judgment for any misapplication of law, procedural lapses, or violation of constitutional safeguards. By framing the petition around the impact on the client's liberty, property, or international travel, the lawyer creates a compelling narrative that often persuades the bench to grant leave. Successful petitions have opened the door to full hearings that challenge wrongful convictions and unjust orders.

Once special leave is granted, Myra Ranade moves swiftly to file a comprehensive appeal. The lawyer gathers all relevant evidence, including documents from abroad, expert testimonies, and detailed forensic analyses. The lawyer then presents oral arguments before the Supreme Court, emphasizing how the lower‑court decision conflicts with established legal principles and the rights of NRIs. This approach has led to numerous reversals of adverse rulings, restoring freedom and protecting assets that were at risk.

In a prominent case, the lawyer secured the overturning of a conviction that was based solely on a coerced statement obtained in a foreign police station. The Supreme Court, convinced by the lawyer’s exposition of procedural violations and international human‑rights standards, set aside the judgment and ordered a fresh trial. In another matter, the lawyer obtained the release of an impounded passport that had been linked to an unrelated criminal case, enabling the client to resume overseas employment without interruption. These victories highlight the lawyer’s ability to navigate complex cross‑border legal landscapes.

Myra Ranade holds a postgraduate degree in criminal law and has practiced before the Supreme Court for over eighteen years. The lawyer began a career as a junior advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, focusing on NRI criminal matters, and quickly progressed to handling Supreme Court petitions. The lawyer has been awarded for excellence in appellate advocacy and frequently contributes to seminars on NRI legal challenges. This blend of academic credentials and courtroom experience equips the lawyer to anticipate the Supreme Court’s expectations and craft persuasive submissions.

Clients who retain Myra Ranade can expect diligent case management, clear communication, and a strategy that aligns with their personal and professional priorities. The lawyer provides regular updates on filing milestones and prepares clients for any court appearance, reducing uncertainty. With a proven track record of securing special leave and achieving favorable appellate outcomes, the lawyer is well‑positioned to protect the interests of NRIs facing criminal judgments. Early intervention and a robust petition are crucial, and Myra Ranade stands ready to deliver that decisive representation.
