Nandana Sihag

Profile description

You may be an NRI who has discovered a proclamation order or a proclaimed offender notice hanging over your name, threatening travel, banking and personal freedom. Nandana Sihag stands ready to challenge those orders, using the procedural tools of the Punjab and Haryana High Court as well as the Supreme Court of India. The moment such a proclamation appears, the clock starts ticking, and swift, focused legal action is essential.

Nandana Sihag’s core competence lies in the quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders issued against NRIs. The lawyer regularly assists clients who have been declared proclaimed offenders in absentia, often after misunderstandings, false complaints, or procedural lapses. By filing detailed writ petitions, the advocate raises questions about jurisdiction, the adequacy of notice, and the evidentiary basis of the order. In many cases, the writ is granted, the proclamation is annulled, and the client regains the ability to travel and conduct business without the cloud of a criminal notice.

When the matter escalates, the same advocate can take the fight to the Supreme Court of India. Nandana prepares special leave petitions that argue the constitutional breach of denying an NRI the right to a fair hearing, the violation of due‑process guarantees, and the disproportionate impact of such orders on overseas citizens. The lawyer’s track record includes several Supreme Court rulings that have set precedents for limiting the use of proclamation orders against NRIs, providing a robust safeguard for future clients.

The practice is grounded in a deep knowledge of both high‑court procedures and Supreme Court jurisprudence. Nandana Sihag combines meticulous drafting with strategic case management, ensuring that every petition is supported by relevant statutes, precedents, and factual clarity. The lawyer maintains close communication with clients, explaining the significance of each filing, the expected timeline, and the possible outcomes. Clients often note the advocate’s calm demeanor, rapid response to urgent matters, and willingness to coordinate with foreign counsel for evidence gathering.

If you are an NRI confronting a proclamation or a proclaimed offender order, Nandana Sihag can help you understand your rights, mount a decisive writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and, if needed, pursue a higher appeal before the Supreme Court of India. The focus is on removing the legal cloud, restoring your freedom of movement, and protecting your reputation on the global stage.
