An NRI who discovers that a criminal case filed in India has moved beyond the district court may wonder how to protect their rights from thousands of miles away. Naina Sood specializes in NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the Supreme Court of India, offering a clear route to challenge adverse decisions rendered by the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh.

Naina Sood regularly assists clients in preparing Special Leave Petitions that ask the Supreme Court to exercise its discretionary power to review lower‑court rulings. The lawyer’s training includes a master’s degree in criminal jurisprudence and extensive apprenticeship under senior advocates experienced in apex‑court practice. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has filed dozens of SLPs that have secured the Court’s intervention in cases involving alleged financial fraud, cyber‑crimes, and offences linked to cross‑border transactions.

When an NRI client faces a conviction that threatens employment, travel, or personal reputation, Naina Sood can help craft an appeal that focuses on errors of law, misapplication of evidence, or violations of fundamental rights. The lawyer’s ability to obtain certification of documents from Indian consulates, translate foreign records, and coordinate testimony from experts abroad strengthens each petition. In several recent matters, the lawyer’s meticulous presentation of procedural lapses led the Supreme Court to set aside convictions and order fresh trials, providing a lifeline to families who feared irreversible damage.

Beyond filing, Naina Sood guides clients through the Supreme Court’s procedural timeline, explaining when oral arguments are scheduled and what preparation is required. The lawyer conducts mock hearings, anticipates the bench’s questions, and ensures that every factual nuance is highlighted.
