Pavan Shetty

Profile description

Facing a criminal complaint in India while living abroad can feel like a maze with no clear exit. Pavan Shetty knows how unsettling it is to receive a notice that threatens freedom, reputation, or family stability. The lawyer specialises in defending NRIs against false criminal allegations, handling matrimonial disputes that carry criminal charges, and protecting property from fraudulent claims. Each case begins with a thorough review of the accusation, the underlying facts, and the client’s objectives. From that point, Pavan Shetty maps a defence strategy that aligns with Indian law and the client’s cross‑border realities.

Criminal complaints against NRIs often arise from misunderstandings, mistaken identity, or malicious reports. Pavan Shetty regularly assists clients who have been accused of offences such as fraud, tax evasion, or cybercrime. The lawyer examines the FIR, collects digital footprints, and engages forensic experts to dispute inaccurate evidence. By filing counter‑affidavits and seeking discharge applications before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate can halt investigations and protect the client’s name. Successful defence work has led to dismissal of charges, withdrawal of police reports, and restoration of professional licences.

Matrimonial disputes can quickly turn criminal when allegations of domestic violence, harassment, or false accusations surface. Pavan Shetty can help NRIs navigate these sensitive matters without compromising their safety or their family’s future. The lawyer files protective orders, challenges bogus claims, and presents evidence of marital harmony or lack of wrongdoing. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate has secured quash orders that dismiss criminal proceedings and has obtained mutual consent divorces that protect property and children. The focus remains on safeguarding the client’s personal and legal rights.

Property fraud attacks often involve forged sale deeds, illegal inheritance claims, or deceptive power‑of‑attorney arrangements targeting NRIs who own land back home. Pavan Shetty regularly assists clients who discover that their property has been transferred without consent. The lawyer initiates title verification, works with registry officials, and files suit for cancellation of fraudulent transactions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By presenting expert testimony and documentary proof, the advocate can obtain injunctions that stop further dispossession and can order the restoration of original ownership. Many clients have reclaimed their assets and avoided costly litigation through early intervention.

The lawyer brings over twelve years of practice in high‑stakes NRI criminal and property matters. A graduate of the National Law University, Bangalore, Pavan Shetty earned an LL.M. in International Criminal Law and later served as a junior advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This blend of academic depth and courtroom exposure equips the lawyer to draft persuasive petitions, cross‑examine witnesses, and negotiate settlements that favour the client. The advocate follows a disciplined schedule, ensuring every filing deadline is met and every argument is backed by solid precedent.

Whether the challenge is a criminal complaint, a matrimonial dispute with criminal overtones, or a fraudulent property claim, Pavan Shetty can steer the case through the Punjab and Haryana High Court with determination. The lawyer’s aim is to protect reputation, secure freedom, and preserve assets for the client and their family. With a record of decisive victories and a client‑focused approach, the advocate works until the desired outcome is achieved.
