Ronav Kohli

Profile description

You have received a look‑out circular that threatens your ability to travel back to India, and you worry it could jeopardize your business, family and freedom. Ronav Kohli understands how quickly an NRI can feel trapped when a writ is issued against a passport or when a criminal complaint surfaces overseas. With a focus on the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Ronav Kohli has built a practice around getting the relief you need before you even set foot on Indian soil.

The first line of defence often begins with a Look‑Out Circular writ petition. Ronav Kohli regularly drafts and files petitions that challenge the legality of the circular, cites procedural lapses and argues for the immediate cancellation of travel restrictions. In several recent cases, the High Court has reversed the circular within weeks, allowing clients to resume international travel without penalty. The lawyer’s method combines meticulous document review with swift oral advocacy, ensuring that the court sees the full picture before a decision is rendered.

When the threat escalates to the prospect of arrest, anticipatory bail becomes essential. Ronav Kohli can help NRIs secure anticipatory bail even while they are abroad. By presenting clear evidence of cooperation, stable residence overseas and the absence of flight risk, the lawyer persuades the bench to grant protection that shields you from detention upon return. Past successes include securing anticipatory bail for clients facing serious charges, which has kept families together and business operations uninterrupted.

If a criminal complaint has already been filed, a robust defence strategy is critical. Ronav Kohli examines every allegation, gathers exculpatory evidence from both India and the foreign jurisdiction, and prepares a defence narrative that aligns with Indian criminal law. The lawyer’s experience includes handling complex fraud investigations, drug‑related accusations and cyber‑crime allegations where the accused lives outside India. By filing detailed counter‑affidavits and cross‑examining prosecution witnesses, the lawyer routinely achieves either dismissal of charges or favorable settlements that protect the client’s reputation.

Matrimonial disputes can spill over into criminal proceedings, especially when allegations of domestic violence or cruelty arise. Ronav Kohli has defended NRIs in such matrimonial criminal matters, balancing the sensitive nature of family law with the rigor of criminal defence. The lawyer works closely with matrimonial experts, prepares comprehensive evidence of marital history, and argues for the termination of criminal proceedings when they are used as a coercive tool. Clients often report that the approach not only safeguards their legal rights but also preserves family harmony across borders.

Property fraud cases present another arena where NRIs are vulnerable. When a property transaction in India is questioned and fraud allegations emerge, Ronav Kohli can mount a defence that traces the chain of title, validates documents executed abroad and challenges any procedural irregularities in the investigation. The lawyer has secured favorable rulings that have cleared client names and restored ownership rights, preventing the loss of valuable assets.

Finally, when a case has already moved through lower courts, an appeal to the Punjab and Haryana High Court can change the outcome dramatically. Ronav Kohli prepares meticulous appeal papers, highlights errors in law or fact, and presents oral arguments that have repeatedly led the High Court to overturn convictions, reduce penalties or order fresh trials. The lawyer’s appellate track record includes more than a dozen successful appeals in the last five years, underscoring a deep familiarity with the High Court’s practice and expectations.

Across all these practice areas, Ronav Kohli combines a thorough understanding of Indian criminal statutes with the practical challenges faced by NRIs. The lawyer conducts consultations via video conference, reviews overseas documents in real time, and ensures that every filing complies with the procedural norms of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Clients can expect prompt updates, clear explanations of each step and a committed advocate who promises to fight relentlessly for the best possible result. Whether you need a look‑out circular lifted, anticipatory bail secured, a criminal complaint defended, matrimonial criminal matters resolved, property fraud allegations cleared or a High Court appeal won, Ronav Kohli offers the focused expertise that NRI clients in Chandigarh rely on.
