Shreya Mukherjee

Profile description

You have learned that a criminal case filed against you in India is being used by your spouse to further a matrimonial dispute, and your passport has been seized. Shreya Mukherjee is the lawyer who handles NRI matrimonial criminal proceedings and passport‑impounding writ petitions, representing clients before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Shreya Mukherjee earned a law degree from the National Law University, Delhi, and completed a specialization in Family and Criminal Law. With over fourteen years of practice, the lawyer has built a reputation for defending NRIs who are entangled in marital conflict that escalates into criminal charges or passport restrictions. The lawyer regularly assists clients who face allegations of domestic violence, false criminal complaints, or misuse of the legal system in a divorce context.

When an NRI faces a criminal complaint that stems from a matrimonial disagreement, the lawyer first evaluates the factual matrix and the underlying matrimonial issues. By separating legitimate criminal concerns from strategic misuse of the law, the lawyer prepares a defence that protects the client’s reputation and legal rights. The lawyer has successfully argued for the dismissal of false complaints, secured protective orders, and obtained favourable settlements that preserve the client’s financial and personal interests.

If a passport has been impounded as part of a writ petition, the lawyer files a timely writ in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the legality of the seizure and citing the client’s right to travel. The lawyer’s thorough preparation of evidence, including proof of residence abroad, lack of flight risk, and compliance with court orders, has led to numerous instances where the court ordered the immediate release of the passport.

For matters that require escalation, the lawyer brings the case before the Supreme Court of India. By filing a special leave petition or a constitutional writ, the lawyer challenges lower‑court rulings that unfairly restrict the client’s freedom of movement or that misapply criminal law in a matrimonial context. The lawyer’s deep knowledge of Supreme Court precedents on personal liberty and marital rights has resulted in landmark decisions that restore passport privileges and overturn unjust convictions.

The lawyer’s practice is characterised by a compassionate yet strategic approach. The lawyer conducts detailed consultations, explains the legal options in plain language, and crafts a roadmap that balances immediate relief with long‑term resolution of the marital dispute. The lawyer works closely with marital counsellors, forensic experts, and international law specialists to strengthen the client’s position.

Clients value the lawyer’s commitment to transparent communication. The lawyer provides regular status reports, clarifies procedural steps, and makes sure that clients understand the implications of each court order. This open dialogue helps families navigate the emotional stress of legal battles while maintaining focus on the legal objectives.

The lawyer also assists clients in coordinating with foreign consulates and immigration authorities, ensuring that any court‑ordered release of a passport is promptly recorded and that travel documents are reinstated without delay. This comprehensive support enables NRIs to resume work, education, or family obligations abroad.

If you are an NRI caught in a criminal complaint that is tied to a marital dispute, or if your passport has been impounded, you can count on Shreya Mukherjee to protect your rights in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer invites you to a confidential consultation to discuss the specifics of your case and to begin a defence strategy that safeguards your freedom and future.
