Profile description

You have just been accused of fraud involving a property you own overseas, and a travel restriction has been placed on your passport, making it impossible to return to India for a hearing. Samar Srivastava offers a comprehensive defence that tackles property fraud accusations, handles criminal appeals, and challenges travel bans affecting NRIs.

Samar’s practice focuses on NRI Property Fraud Defence before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. He regularly assists clients who are targeted with false allegations of forged documents, illegal transfers, or inflated valuations. By filing precise writ petitions and evidentiary applications, he can compel the court to examine the authenticity of the documents and protect the client’s ownership rights. He explains how to gather overseas records, coordinate with foreign banks, and present a clear timeline that disproves fraudulent claims.

When a lower‑court verdict is unfavorable, Samar moves swiftly to the Supreme Court of India through NRI Criminal Appeals. He has successfully argued Special Leave Petitions that overturn convictions, annul fines, and restore property titles. His appellate work demonstrates a deep understanding of both High Court reasoning and Supreme Court precedents, allowing him to craft arguments that resonate with the apex judges.

Travel restrictions are a common tactic used to pressure NRIs. Samar also specialises in NRI Challenges to Foreign Travel Restrictions. He can file writ petitions and appropriate applications before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to secure the release of an impounded passport or to lift a restriction order. His experience includes cases where the court has ordered the immediate return of passports, enabling clients to attend critical hearings abroad.

Samar earned his law degree from the University of Delhi and later completed a Master’s in International Commercial Law from a reputed overseas university. With over fourteen years of experience, he began his career at a multinational law firm, handling cross‑border property disputes before establishing his own practice that concentrates on NRI criminal and property matters.

His client‑focused workflow starts with a detailed intake that captures every facet of the property transaction and any related criminal allegations. He then assembles a team that includes forensic accountants, foreign legal consultants, and investigative experts. Throughout the litigation, Samar provides plain‑language updates, ensuring clients understand their position and the steps being taken.

Clients praise his ability to demystify complex legal processes and his tenacity in confronting both domestic and foreign authorities. He promises to protect your property rights, to fight any wrongful conviction, and to secure the freedom to travel without undue restriction.

If you are an NRI facing property fraud accusations, a criminal appeal, or a passport impoundment, a consultation with Samar Srivastava can chart a strategic defence. Leveraging his expertise before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, he will work to clear your name, restore your assets, and lift any travel barriers that impede your life.
