Prajakta Agrawal

Profile description

You are an NRI facing criminal charges in India and have been denied bail by the lower courts. You need a lawyer who can navigate the cross‑border complexities and present a compelling petition to the Supreme Court. Prajakta Agrawal is a seasoned lawyer who handles NRI Special Leave Petitions and Appeals before the Supreme Court of India. Prajakta regularly assists NRIs who are detained abroad or within India and can help secure their release while the case proceeds.

Prajakta’s expertise lies in tailoring Special Leave Petitions to address the unique challenges faced by non‑resident clients. The lawyer has more than a decade of experience dealing with jurisdictional issues, differences in procedural law, and the need to coordinate with overseas counsel. Prajakta can explain how a Supreme Court petition may highlight violations of fundamental rights, misapplication of law, or new evidence that was not available at the lower court stage.

The Supreme Court entertains only a limited number of petitions, yet Prajakta’s success rate with NRI cases is notable. In recent years, the lawyer secured interim bail for clients charged under the Economic Offences Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, allowing them to return home while investigations continued. Prajakta’s method begins with a thorough review of the bail denial order, identification of procedural lapses, and preparation of a narrative that emphasizes the client’s ties to the overseas jurisdiction, family considerations, and the principle of presumption of innocence.

Prajakta earned a top‑class law degree from Panjab University and completed a master’s program in international law. Early practice at the Punjab and Haryana High Court provided exposure to cross‑border criminal matters, which later informed the lawyer’s specialization in Supreme Court appeals for NRIs. Prajakta has been published in journals on the rights of Indians abroad and is often consulted by fellow advocates on NRI criminal matters.

Clients value Prajakta’s clear communication, responsiveness, and relentless advocacy. The lawyer regularly updates clients on filing status, hearing dates, and strategic options. Prajakta advises on the supporting documents that strengthen an NRI petition, such as passport copies, visa details, consular letters, and proof of financial stability abroad. By presenting a complete and compelling case, the lawyer maximizes the chance that the Supreme Court will grant special leave and consider the bail application.

When you engage Prajakta, expect a transparent process. The lawyer begins with a confidential consultation, examines the bail order, and outlines the merits of a Special Leave Petition tailored for an NRI. If the case is viable, Prajakta drafts the petition, adheres to the Supreme Court’s strict filing timeline, and prepares for oral argument, often coordinating with foreign counsel to ensure consistency. Throughout, the lawyer remains accessible, answering queries promptly and providing realistic assessments of possible outcomes.

If you are an NRI stuck in detention and have exhausted remedies at the High Court, a Special Leave Petition to the Supreme Court may be the decisive next step. Prajakta Agrawal brings the requisite expertise, strategic insight, and courtroom experience to pursue that remedy. The lawyer’s dedication to protecting the liberty of Indians abroad has restored freedom for many families and set important precedents.

Rely on Prajakta to champion your bail at the nation’s highest court. The lawyer’s deep knowledge of Supreme Court practice, combined with an empathetic, client‑focused approach, offers the strongest possible chance of securing the relief you need.
