Subhajit Shekhawat

Profile description

An NRI arrested abroad or facing criminal allegations in India may wonder how to secure bail, protect property from fraudulent claims, or contest travel bans that hinder family reunification. Subhajit Shekhawat, a Chandigarh‑based lawyer, regularly assists clients in these intertwined challenges across the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Subhajit Shekhawat handles NRI Anticipatory Bail matters. When an arrest is imminent, the lawyer can file an anticipatory bail petition that asks the court to pre‑emptively protect the client’s liberty. The lawyer evaluates the severity of the alleged offence, the evidence in police custody, and the risk of harassment to craft a petition that demonstrates the client’s willingness to cooperate with the investigation while safeguarding personal freedom.

In parallel, the lawyer addresses NRI Property Fraud Defence. Property disputes involving NRIs often arise from forged documents, fraudulent title claims, or unscrupulous intermediaries. Subhajit Shekhawat reviews title deeds, registration records, and any foreign investment paperwork. The lawyer then files defence petitions that expose fraud, request injunctions, and secure restoration of ownership. By coordinating with forensic accountants and real‑estate experts, the lawyer builds a robust case that can be presented before the high court or, if needed, the Supreme Court.

The third pillar of Subhajit Shekhawat’s practice is NRI Challenges to Foreign Travel Restrictions. When authorities issue prohibitory orders or block passports, the lawyer can move the high court for a writ of habeas corpus or a stay, arguing that the restriction lacks a lawful basis. In several recent Supreme Court appeals, the lawyer succeeded in overturning blanket travel bans that were imposed without sufficient evidence.

The lawyer brings over fourteen years of experience, an LL.B. from a premier Indian university, and a Master’s degree in International Criminal Law. Subhajit Shekhawat has been recognised for securing anticipatory bail in high‑profile cases where the prosecution sought pre‑trial detention. The lawyer has also helped NRIs reclaim property worth millions by exposing forgery and obtaining court judgments that nullify fraudulent claims.

The lawyer’s strategy begins with a comprehensive case audit. Subhajit Shekhawat gathers police reports, property documents, and travel restriction notices. The lawyer then prepares tailored petitions for each forum, ensuring compliance with procedural rules of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court. Throughout the process, the lawyer keeps the client informed, anticipates prosecution tactics, and advises on the best timing for filings.

Clients who work with Subhajit Shekhawat appreciate the lawyer’s clear explanations of legal options, realistic assessment of outcomes, and proactive advocacy. By combining expertise in bail, property defence, and travel rights, the lawyer aims to secure liberty, protect assets, and restore the freedom to move across borders.
