Uday Dwivedi

Profile description

If you are an NRI who has been declared a proclaimed offender by a foreign authority and a proclamation order has been issued in India, you need a lawyer who can move quickly in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if required, before the Supreme Court of India. Uday Dwivedi focuses on quashing such proclamation orders and on filing special leave petitions that challenge adverse judgments affecting Indian citizens abroad. The lawyer combines deep knowledge of cross‑border criminal law with practical experience in the highest courts.

Uday Dwivedi regularly assists NRI clients in filing petitions that seek to nullify proclamation orders and the associated declared offender status. The lawyer prepares detailed affidavits, gathers diplomatic correspondence, and presents evidence that the foreign allegations lack substantive proof. By invoking the safeguards under Indian criminal procedure, the lawyer argues that the proclamation violates the client’s right to a fair trial and should be set aside. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer has secured numerous interim stays, preventing the enforcement of travel bans and asset freezes while the substantive matter is examined. When the High Court’s decision is unsatisfactory, the lawyer is prepared to raise a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India, seeking a definitive reversal of the order.

In addition to quashing proclamation orders, Uday Dwivedi can help NRI clients who need to challenge convictions, sentencing orders, or other adverse rulings that were rendered in absentia. The lawyer drafts comprehensive special leave petitions that lay out procedural errors, jurisdictional flaws, and violations of international law. By presenting these points persuasively to the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer aims to obtain a stay, a full set‑aside, or a remand for fresh hearing in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer also handles appeals of any High Court decision, ensuring that every legal avenue is explored before the matter is closed.

Uday Dwivedi brings more than twelve years of experience defending NRI clients in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and before the Supreme Court of India. A graduate of a leading national law school, the lawyer began a career in a reputed litigation chamber where the focus was on high‑profile criminal matters involving foreign jurisdictions. Since then, the lawyer has achieved notable successes, including the quashing of three proclamation orders within the past two years and securing landmark special leave judgments that set precedents for other NRIs facing similar challenges. Clients commend the lawyer’s strategic thinking, meticulous preparation, and ability to keep complex matters understandable.

The lawyer’s practice is built around clear communication and proactive planning. From the first consultation, the lawyer maps out a timeline, identifies the most effective forum—whether the Punjab and Haryana High Court for immediate relief or the Supreme Court of India for a decisive review—and keeps the client updated through encrypted video calls. The lawyer also coordinates with foreign legal teams, immigration consultants, and investigative agencies to assemble a full record that supports the petition. By focusing on decisive results, the lawyer aims to restore the client’s freedom of movement and protect reputation back home.
