Sahana Shrivastava

Profile description

You have just learned that a travel ban or an adverse court order is affecting your ability to leave India, and the uncertainty is causing both personal distress and professional disruption. Sahana Shrivastava focuses on representing non‑resident Indians who confront such challenges in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer understands the delicate balance between national security concerns and individual freedoms, and works to safeguard the rights of NRIs facing legal obstacles abroad.

When an NRI wishes to challenge a governmental order, a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India often provides the most effective remedy. Shrivastava can explain how the lawyer prepares a meticulously drafted petition that highlights substantive errors in the lower court’s decision, the impact on the client’s livelihood, and relevant constitutional provisions. The advocate has a track record of securing the Supreme Court’s permission to hear cases that involve wrongful detention, passport seizure, or wrongful inclusion in watch lists.

In addition to SLPs, the lawyer regularly handles appeals filed directly in the Punjab and Haryana High Court on behalf of NRIs contesting adverse rulings. By analysing procedural lapses, jurisdictional overreach, and the factual matrix, Shrivastava crafts persuasive arguments that demonstrate why the original order should be set aside. The advocate collaborates with immigration experts and foreign‑law counsel to ensure that the appeal reflects both domestic law and international obligations, increasing the likelihood of a favorable judgment.

Travel restrictions imposed on NRIs often stem from Look‑Out Circulars, Inter‑Agency Alerts, or alleged violations of financial regulations. Shrivastava can help clients challenge these restrictions by filing writ petitions that demand transparent evidence and a fair hearing. The lawyer meticulously reviews the basis of the restriction, requests production of the underlying documents, and argues that any denial of travel must be proportionate, justified, and compliant with due‑process standards. Successful challenges have resulted in the withdrawal of travel bans and the restoration of passport privileges.

With more than fifteen years of experience, Shrivastava has represented a broad spectrum of NRI clients, from business executives to students and retirees. The lawyer holds a distinguished law degree and has undergone advanced training in international human‑rights law. The advocate maintains a client‑focused practice, ensuring that each case is managed with confidentiality, regular updates, and strategic foresight. Past clients appreciate the lawyer’s ability to demystify complex procedural requirements and navigate the interplay between the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

If you are an NRI confronting a special leave petition, an appeal, or a travel restriction that jeopardizes your personal or professional plans, consulting with Sahana Shrivastava can provide a clear roadmap. The lawyer will evaluate the facts, design a tailored legal strategy, and act promptly in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, while also preparing for potential escalation to the Supreme Court of India. Timely action often determines whether the restriction can be lifted before it causes irreversible harm.
