Niharika Bajpai

Profile description

Imagine discovering that a criminal case in India is being used to settle a personal dispute in your marriage, and the allegations threaten your reputation back home. Niharika Bajpai understands how NRI matrimonial matters can quickly become criminal proceedings, and she offers focused representation to protect your interests.

Niharika’s practice centers on NRI Matrimonial Criminal Proceedings before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. She regularly assists clients whose spouses have filed false criminal complaints, have been implicated in dowry‑related cases, or face allegations of domestic violence that are being weaponised in divorce litigation. By filing appropriate applications, she can request interim relief, challenge the jurisdiction of the criminal case, and negotiate for a swift resolution that safeguards your marital and financial standing.

When matters escalate beyond the High Court, Niharika is experienced in taking appeals to the Supreme Court of India. She prepares detailed Special Leave Petitions that argue why the Supreme Court should intervene, especially when lower courts have misapplied law or when there is a clear miscarriage of justice. Her success in securing Supreme Court orders that dismiss false charges and restore client reputations has earned her a reputation for tenacity.

A graduate of Delhi University’s law programme, Niharika went on to earn a post‑graduate diploma in Family Law from an internationally recognised institution. Over twelve years of practice, she has worked with leading chambers in Chandigarh before launching her own boutique practice that focuses exclusively on cross‑border matrimonial and criminal issues.

Her method begins with a confidential interview that captures the personal and legal nuances of the dispute. She then maps out a comprehensive plan that includes filing protective applications, gathering documentary evidence from abroad, and coordinating with foreign legal teams. Throughout the process, Niharika keeps clients updated in simple language, ensuring that they understand each stage and can make informed decisions.

Clients commend her ability to remain calm under pressure and to negotiate with prosecutors and opposing counsel to achieve settlements that avoid protracted trials. She promises to fight aggressively against any misuse of criminal law in matrimonial conflicts and to seek the quickest, most favourable outcome for NRI clients.

If you are an NRI facing criminal allegations tied to a matrimonial dispute, a consultation with Niharika Bajpai can clarify your options and set a clear path toward protecting your family, your name, and your future. She will leverage her knowledge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India to build a defence that addresses both the criminal and matrimonial dimensions of your case.
