Pramod Chouhan

Profile description

You are an NRI who has learned that a spouse has filed a criminal case alleging matrimonial misconduct, and simultaneously your passport has been impounded, preventing you from attending urgent family matters abroad. Pramod Chouhan offers expertise in matrimonial criminal proceedings, passport‑impounding writ petitions, and challenges to foreign travel restrictions, all handled before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Pramod Chouhan earned a law degree from Panjab University and a master’s in international criminal law from the University of Delhi. Over the past thirteen years, the lawyer has built a practice dedicated to NRI criminal defence, especially in cases where personal relationships intersect with cross‑border legal complications. The advocate regularly assists clients who face allegations of marital cruelty, dowry harassment, or false criminal complaints, filing petitions that seek protection orders, stay of proceedings, or outright dismissal. In several high‑profile matrimonial criminal matters, the lawyer secured judgments that dismissed false accusations and ordered the return of the client’s passport.

When a passport is impounded, Pramod Chouhan can file a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, asserting that the impoundment infringes on the fundamental right to personal liberty and the right to travel. The lawyer gathers passport copies, the impounding order, and any related police reports, then drafts a petition that highlights procedural lapses and the lack of substantive evidence. By presenting a compelling case to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate often obtains an immediate order for passport release, allowing the client to travel for family emergencies or professional commitments.

Challenges to foreign travel restrictions are addressed through a similar petitionary strategy. The lawyer argues that any restriction imposed without a clear legal basis violates constitutional guarantees and international human‑rights standards. The advocate works closely with foreign consulates, immigration officials, and local authorities to compile evidence that the client does not pose a flight risk or a threat to public safety. The court frequently imposes reasonable conditions, such as regular reporting, while still permitting the client to leave India for a defined period.

Clients value the lawyer’s ability to simplify complex legal procedures and keep them informed at each stage. One client praised the lawyer’s prompt filing of a passport‑release writ that allowed attendance at a critical medical procedure abroad. Another highlighted how the lawyer’s deft handling of a matrimonial criminal case resulted in the dismissal of false charges and the restoration of the client’s reputation. The lawyer’s reputation for thorough documentation, strategic argumentation, and empathetic client communication has earned high praise from NRIs navigating these intertwined issues.

If you are confronting a matrimonial criminal case, an impounded passport, or unjust travel restrictions, Pramod Chouhan can explain your legal options, prepare the necessary writ petitions, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. By leveraging extensive experience in both criminal and civil dimensions of NRI law, the lawyer can protect your personal rights, restore your ability to travel, and work toward a resolution that safeguards your family and professional life.
