Prabhjot Sen

Profile description

When an NRI learns that a First Information Report has been filed against them in India, the immediate reaction is often a mix of disbelief and anxiety, especially when the alleged offense could jeopardize a visa or a professional license abroad. Prabhjot Sen steps in at that critical moment, offering a focused strategy to quash the FIR and to handle any subsequent criminal appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s practice is built around protecting the client’s reputation and ensuring that the legal process does not derail life plans overseas.

Quashing an FIR requires a detailed examination of the police report, the allegations, and the procedural compliance of the investigation. Prabhjot Sen regularly assists NRI clients in filing applications under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to obtain a high‑court order that nullifies the FIR when it is found to be baseless, malafide, or lacking jurisdiction. The lawyer prepares a robust factual matrix, cites relevant case law, and argues that continuing the investigation would cause irreparable harm to the client’s personal and professional standing. By securing a quash order early, the lawyer prevents the case from progressing to charge‑sheet filing and trial.

If the matter has already advanced to a charge‑sheet or a conviction, Prabhjot Sen can help the client file a criminal appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer drafts comprehensive appeal memoranda that highlight errors in the trial court’s findings, misinterpretation of law, or violation of procedural safeguards. The lawyer also presents fresh evidence where permissible, and can argue for a reduction of sentence or complete acquittal. Throughout the appellate process, the lawyer keeps the client informed about timeline expectations and possible outcomes, empowering the NRI to make strategic decisions about travel and employment.

The lawyer earned an LL.B. from Panjab University and later pursued a Master of Laws in Criminal Justice from a distinguished overseas university. With over fifteen years of practice, Prabhjot Sen began as a junior advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, gaining deep insight into the court’s procedural rhythms. After a decade of handling high‑profile criminal matters, the lawyer founded a boutique practice in Chandigarh that focuses exclusively on NRI criminal defence, FIR quashing, and appellate advocacy. This background provides the lawyer with a nuanced understanding of both the investigative phase and the appellate stage of criminal proceedings.

One recent triumph involved an NRI accused of a financial fraud that had resulted in an FIR in Delhi. Prabhjot Sen successfully obtained a quash order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, demonstrating that the police had acted on unverified information and lacked jurisdiction. In another case, the lawyer secured a reduction of a three‑year sentence for an NRI who had been convicted of a minor assault, by proving that the evidence presented at trial was inadmissible. Clients frequently commend the lawyer’s clear communication, swift action, and a ability to navigate the complexities of cross‑border criminal law.

If you are an NRI facing an FIR or an unfavorable criminal judgment, Prabhjot Sen offers a dedicated, results‑oriented approach before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer combines meticulous case analysis, persuasive drafting, and a strategic mindset that prioritizes the client’s need to maintain mobility and professional credibility. By partnering with a lawyer who understands the intricacies of FIR quashing and criminal appeals, you gain a realistic chance of overturning the accusation and preserving your future with confidence.
