Niyati Pandey

Profile description

An NRI client may be arrested abroad or face extradition proceedings that could lead to a criminal trial in India. When the initial relief application is denied, the only remaining recourse might be a Special Leave Petition or an appeal before the Supreme Court of India. Niyati Pandey is a dedicated advocate who regularly assists NRIs with such petitions and appeals.

Niyati Pandey earned a postgraduate degree in International Law and has practiced for over sixteen years, focusing on cross‑border criminal matters. The lawyer began a career at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, representing NRIs in bail applications and initial relief petitions, before shifting attention to Supreme Court practice. This background provides a rare blend of domestic procedural expertise and an understanding of the challenges NRIs face when navigating India’s criminal justice system from abroad.

When an NRI encounters a denial of relief in a lower forum, Niyati Pandey can help prepare a Special Leave Petition that highlights jurisdictional issues, violations of due‑process rights, or the need for urgent intervention to prevent undue hardship. The advocate meticulously gathers evidence from foreign jurisdictions, drafts a petition that aligns with Supreme Court precedents on NRI rights, and files the application within the statutory timeline.

In oral arguments, Niyati Pandey presents a clear, focused narrative that emphasizes the international dimension of the case, the impact on the client’s family, and any procedural irregularities that occurred in the lower court. The lawyer often collaborates with foreign counsel, translation experts, and senior advocates to ensure that all relevant facts are presented accurately and persuasively.

Successful outcomes include the Supreme Court granting bail to NRIs lodged overseas, staying extradition orders pending further review, and overturning lower‑court decisions that failed to consider the client’s right to fair trial under international standards. Clients regularly commend the advocate’s responsiveness, detailed explanations of each procedural step, and unwavering commitment to protecting their rights across borders.

If you are an NRI facing criminal proceedings that have reached an impasse, Niyati Pandey can explain how a Special Leave Petition or appeal can be used to seek immediate relief, outline the procedural roadmap, and work toward a resolution that safeguards your liberty and reputation. The advocate’s extensive experience with NRI matters and deep familiarity with Supreme Court practice provides a strategic advantage in these complex legal battles.
