Myra Rao

Profile description

An FIR has been lodged against you while you are living abroad, and the prospect of being recalled to face criminal proceedings in India feels distressing. Myra Rao is the advocate who specializes in quashing NRI FIRs, helping non‑resident Indians regain peace of mind without the need for a costly extradition battle at the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

NRI FIR quashing involves filing a petition that demonstrates the case lacks merit, contains jurisdictional flaws, or violates principles of natural justice for individuals residing outside India. Myra Rao regularly assists clients in gathering the necessary evidence—such as passport copies, proof of residence, and affidavits from overseas witnesses—to build a compelling argument that the FIR should be dismissed before any trial is scheduled.

The lawyer’s approach begins with a detailed analysis of the FIR’s allegations, the investigating officer’s report, and any supporting documents. Myra Rao looks for procedural lapses, lack of prima facie evidence, or instances where the FIR was filed on false information. Using recent High Court precedents that protect NRI rights, the advocate drafts a succinct petition that asks the bench to strike down the FIR on the ground of insufficiency and abuse of process.

All proceedings are conducted before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where Myra Rao has argued dozens of NRI‑related matters. The advocate knows the precise filing format, the appropriate jurisdictional head for NRI cases, and the persuasive oral techniques that resonate with judges accustomed to cross‑border legal complexities. This familiarity reduces delays and strengthens the likelihood of a favourable order.

Myra Rao holds a Bachelor of Laws from Guru Nanak Dev University and a Master of Laws in International Law from the National Law University, Jodhpur. Over a decade of practice, the lawyer has achieved quashing orders in more than forty NRI FIR cases, including high‑profile drug‑possession allegations against a software professional in the United States, a fraud FIR concerning a Canadian‑based businessperson, and a corruption charge filed against an NRI entrepreneur residing in the UAE.

Clients commend the advocate for clear communication. From the initial consultation, Myra Rao explains the procedural steps, outlines the evidence needed, and provides realistic timelines for filing and hearing. The lawyer also works closely with overseas counsel, ensuring that any testimony or document from abroad is authenticated and admissible.

The promise Myra Rao makes to every client is to pursue an aggressive quash that eliminates the FIR entirely, safeguarding personal liberty and professional reputation. If you are an NRI facing an FIR that threatens your future, Myra Rao offers the expertise, courtroom experience, and strategic insight required to secure a full dismissal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
