Sahil Mahato

Profile description

An NRI returning home to find an FIR lodged against them, a property transaction contested as fraudulent, or a passport seized by authorities can be a shocking and disruptive experience. Such actions not only affect personal liberty but also jeopardize overseas assets and travel plans. Sahil Mahato offers focused representation to address these cross‑border challenges. As an advocate experienced in NRI FIR Quashing, NRI Property Fraud Defence, and NRI Passport Impounding Writ Petitions, the lawyer navigates the procedural complexities of the Punjab and Haryana High Court while keeping the client’s international concerns in mind. The aim is to secure a clear path back to normal life and protect valuable holdings abroad.

Sahil Mahato earned a bachelor of laws from a nationally recognized university and later completed a postgraduate certificate in international criminal law. For over nine years, the lawyer has represented NRIs facing legal actions in India, building a reputation for handling cases that involve multiple jurisdictions and foreign assets. The advocate’s familiarity with the Foreign Exchange Management Act, the Indian Penal Code provisions relating to fraud, and passport seizure procedures enables precise counseling. Regular appearances before the Punjab and Haryana High Court have refined the lawyer’s skill in drafting writ petitions, filing quashment applications, and presenting compelling arguments that resonate with judges handling NRI matters.

For NRI FIR Quashing, the lawyer examines the complaint, verifies jurisdictional applicability, and identifies any procedural flaws such as lack of proper service or insufficient evidence. By filing a detailed quashment petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate strives to have the FIR dismissed, preventing further investigation and possible arrest. In Property Fraud Defence, the lawyer reviews title documents, scrutinises transaction records, and challenges any fraudulent claims through a civil suit or criminal counter‑petition. The aim is to protect the client’s overseas or Indian property from illegal seizure. When a passport is impounded, the lawyer prepares a writ petition under the relevant statutes, arguing that the seizure is unwarranted, that the client poses no flight risk, and that the action infringes upon fundamental rights. Prompt filing can lead to the passport’s return, allowing the client to travel and fulfill professional obligations abroad.

Recent outcomes illustrate the lawyer’s effectiveness. In an FIR quashment case involving an NRI businessman accused of alleged money‑laundering, Sahil Mahato secured dismissal within weeks, sparing the client from travel bans and asset freezes. In a property fraud defence for an overseas investor, the lawyer obtained a court order confirming the validity of the client’s title and rejecting the fraudulent claim, thereby safeguarding millions of rupees in assets. For a passport impounding matter, the advocate achieved immediate release through a writ, enabling the client to attend an international conference without delay. Clients praise the lawyer for swift action, clear explanations, and the ability to coordinate with foreign legal teams.

If you are an NRI confronting an FIR, a disputed property claim, or an unjust passport seizure, early legal intervention can prevent escalation and protect your global interests. Sahil Mahato can analyze the facts, identify procedural errors, and file decisive petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s dedication to meticulous preparation and assertive advocacy creates a realistic pathway to quashment, defence, or swift return of travel documents. Clients who choose this advocate benefit from a seasoned professional who treats each case with urgency and works tirelessly to safeguard rights and maintain international mobility.
