Rohan Ranade

Profile description

When an NRI is served with a criminal complaint in India, the shock is often amplified by the threat of a travel ban that can freeze personal and professional plans abroad. Rohan Ranade appears at this crossroads, ready to defend the client’s rights before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer focuses on two critical fronts: challenging the validity of the complaint itself and fighting any restriction that prevents the client from leaving the country. By addressing both issues, the practice offers a comprehensive shield for NRI families who cannot afford a prolonged legal standstill.

Criminal complaint defence begins with a meticulous review of the FIR, the police report, and the underlying evidence. Rohan Ranade regularly assists NRI clients in filing applications for quashing the complaint, seeking revisional orders, or demanding a proper charge‑sheet. The lawyer explains how procedural lapses, lack of jurisdiction, or violations of statutory safeguards can nullify the proceeding. By presenting alternative facts, expert testimonies, and statutory arguments, the lawyer strives to convince the High Court that the complaint does not meet the threshold for prosecution.

Travel restrictions imposed on NRI suspects often arise from Section 88 of the Criminal Procedure Code or from executive orders after a serious allegation. Rohan Ranade can help clients challenge such bans by filing writ petitions that question the proportionality and procedural fairness of the restriction. The lawyer argues that the ban should not infringe on fundamental rights of liberty and movement unless a clear and present danger is established. By coordinating with foreign consulates and presenting evidence of the client’s clean record abroad, the lawyer builds a strong case for lifting the ban.

The lawyer earned a distinguished LL.B. from Government College of Law, Chandigarh, followed by a Master of Laws in International Criminal Law from a reputed overseas university. Over fourteen years of practice, Rohan Ranade has served as a junior advocate in the High Court before establishing a dedicated NRI criminal defence boutique in Chandigarh. This trajectory provides a deep understanding of both procedural nuances of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the cross‑border implications that affect NRI clients.

Recent achievements include the successful quash of an FIR alleging money‑laundering against a NRI businessman, where the High Court held that the police had bypassed mandatory forensic verification. In another case, the lawyer obtained an order lifting a travel ban on a student accused of a minor assault, allowing the client to resume studies in Canada. Clients praise the lawyer’s ability to simplify complex legal jargon and to keep them informed at each stage of the proceeding.

If you are an NRI facing a criminal complaint that jeopardizes your freedom and your ability to travel, Rohan Ranade offers a focused, results‑driven approach before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer combines rigorous legal analysis, strategic pleading, and a compassionate understanding of the pressures felt by families overseas. Engaging a seasoned advocate can turn a potentially career‑disrupting crisis into a manageable legal challenge with a clear path to relief. The lawyer also monitors pending legislative reforms that could further protect NRI rights.
