Shreyas Shrivastava

Profile description

Imagine being notified that a proclamation order has labeled you a proclaimed offender in India, while at the same time you discover that airlines are refusing to let you board a flight because of an unexplained travel alert. For an NRI, such a combination can freeze professional plans, family reunions, and even basic freedom of movement. Shreyas Shrivastava offers focused expertise as an NRI criminal lawyer who handles proclamation challenges, criminal appeals, and foreign travel restriction disputes before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Shreyas Shrivastava regularly assists clients in filing petitions to quash proclamation and proclaimed offender orders. The lawyer analyses the notice, identifies procedural gaps, and demonstrates that the order lacks substantiated evidence. By presenting comprehensive affidavits, supporting documents, and relevant case law, the lawyer can persuade the Punjab and Haryana High Court to set aside the proclamation. Recent successes include overturning orders that were based solely on anonymous tips, thereby restoring the client’s legal standing and allowing normal travel and business activities to resume.

Many NRIs face convictions or adverse judgments that have been upheld by lower tribunals. When a conviction appears to be based on misinterpretation of law or faulty evidence, Shreyas Shrivastava can file a criminal appeal that challenges the verdict at the High Court level and, if required, escalates the matter to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer prepares rigorous appellate briefs, highlights errors in the trial record, and cites precedents that support reversal or sentence modification. Clients have benefited from reduced sentences, acquittals, or the complete vacating of wrongful judgments.

Travel alerts issued against NRIs often arise from outdated databases, mistaken identity, or pending investigations that never materialized. Shreyas Shrivastava is adept at challenging these restrictions by filing writ petitions that argue the client’s compliance with legal processes, the absence of any active case, and the disproportionate hardship caused by the ban. The lawyer has secured orders from both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India that remove travel blocks, enabling clients to board international flights without fear of detention.

The lawyer brings over fifteen years of experience in cross‑border criminal matters. A graduate of a top Indian law school, Shreyas Shrivastava began a career in the chambers of senior judges, later serving as a research associate for a renowned criminal law scholar. The lawyer subsequently joined a leading firm that specializes in NRI defence, handling dozens of high‑profile proclamation and appeal cases. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s methodical preparation, clear communication, and ability to translate complex legal procedures into actionable steps.

If you are confronting a proclamation order, an adverse conviction, or an unexplained travel restriction, Shreyas Shrivastava can explain the legal pathways, draft the necessary writs, and fight for a swift reversal. The lawyer’s familiarity with both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India ensures that every procedural lever is pulled to protect your rights. By choosing this advocate, you gain a committed partner who works relentlessly to restore your freedom, reputation, and ability to move across borders.
