Roshni Dhruw

Profile description

You are an NRI who discovers that your passport has been impounded by Indian authorities following a criminal investigation, leaving you unable to travel home or attend to urgent family matters. The fear of being stranded is real, but a knowledgeable advocate can intervene swiftly. Roshni Dhruw focuses on NRI passport impounding writ petitions, working within the jurisdiction of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to secure the release of travel documents.

Roshni Dhruw regularly assists clients by filing writ petitions that challenge the legality of passport seizure. The lawyer examines the procedural basis for the impoundment, identifies any violations of constitutional rights, and prepares detailed arguments that demonstrate the client’s lack of flight risk. By presenting evidence of stable residence, employment, and compliance with Indian law, the lawyer persuades the High Court to order the passport’s return, often within weeks of filing.

The lawyer’s strategy also includes negotiating with investigating agencies to obtain a clear set of conditions under which the passport may be restored. Roshni Dhruw’s experience before the Chandigarh bench ensures that each petition is crafted to meet the court’s specific expectations, avoiding unnecessary delays. In several recent cases, the lawyer secured immediate relief for clients whose passports were seized on tenuous grounds, allowing them to resume international travel and attend critical personal commitments.

When the matter escalates or the High Court’s order is not implemented, the lawyer is prepared to approach the Supreme Court of India. By filing a special leave petition, the lawyer can obtain a fast‑track hearing that addresses the passport impoundment’s impact on fundamental rights. Past successes include compelling the Supreme Court to issue directives that enforce High Court orders, ensuring that clients receive the relief granted to them.

Roshni Dhruw’s background highlights a dedication to protecting the mobility of NRIs. After completing a law degree at a top Indian university, the lawyer pursued postgraduate studies in constitutional law and participated in seminars on international human‑rights standards. Over ten years of practice, the lawyer has built relationships with senior judges and senior counsel, enhancing the effectiveness of each petition. Clients frequently praise the lawyer’s clear communication, prompt updates, and calm handling of stressful situations.

If your passport has been impounded and you need swift judicial intervention, Roshni Dhruw can help you file a powerful writ petition, navigate the High Court process, and, if necessary, secure Supreme Court oversight. The lawyer’s focused practice, proven track record, and commitment to NRI rights provide a reliable pathway to reclaim your travel freedom.
