Tanvi Gaddam

Profile description

If you are an NRI caught in a criminal investigation in India and are facing detention, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Tanvi Gaddam, a dedicated lawyer practising in Chandigarh, understands the unique pressures that distance, family responsibilities and foreign jurisdiction place on non‑resident Indians. With a focus on securing bail and overturning unjust First Information Reports, the lawyer has built a practice around protecting the rights of Indians living abroad. Whether you are stuck in a police lock‑up in Chandigarh or have been summoned to appear before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Gaddam can intervene quickly to safeguard your liberty.

Securing bail for an NRI often involves navigating cultural misunderstandings, documentation gaps and tight timelines. Tanvi Gaddam regularly assists clients in preparing comprehensive bail applications that highlight personal ties to overseas families, stable employment abroad and the non‑violent nature of the alleged conduct. The lawyer works closely with the Punjab and Haryana High Court to present affidavits, financial statements and character references that demonstrate that the individual is neither a flight risk nor a threat to public order. In cases where the matter escalates to the Supreme Court of India, Gaddam has successfully argued for interim bail, ensuring that the client can remain free while the appeal proceeds.

An FIR that is filed on flimsy evidence can cripple an NRI’s reputation and freeze bank accounts even before a trial begins. Gaddam can help by filing quashing petitions that challenge the legality of the report, point out procedural lapses and cite lack of corroborating witnesses. The lawyer has a track record of having FIRs dismissed at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, saving clients from protracted investigations and costly travel back to India. When the high court denies relief, the lawyer is prepared to take the petition to the Supreme Court of India, where several landmark judgments have reinforced the right to contest an unfounded FIR.

Tanvi Gaddam earned a law degree from Panjab University followed by a Master’s in International Law from a leading overseas institute. Over a decade of practice in criminal matters has given the lawyer deep familiarity with the procedural nuances of both the high court and the apex court. The approach is methodical: an early case audit, rapid collection of overseas documents and a clear communication plan that keeps the client updated across time zones. Gaddam also collaborates with former police officers and forensic experts to strengthen the factual basis of bail and quashing applications.

Clients repeatedly commend the lawyer for turning seemingly hopeless detention into swift release and for erasing criminal stains that could jeopardize overseas employment or immigration status. Past successes include obtaining bail within 48 hours for a software engineer detained in Chandigarh, and having an FIR concerning alleged fraud dismissed after a detailed forensic audit proved the allegations baseless. The lawyer promises diligent representation, transparent billing and a commitment to fighting for every legal avenue that protects the client’s freedom and reputation. With Tanvi Gaddam handling the case, an NRI can focus on family and career while the legal battle is fought by a seasoned advocate in both the high court and the Supreme Court. The lawyer also offers strategic advice on post‑release obligations, ensuring compliance with any conditions imposed by the court and preventing future legal entanglements.
