Varun Khanna

Profile description

An NRI who has been arrested or is the subject of a non‑bailable warrant can feel trapped thousands of miles from home, uncertain about bail, the status of the FIR, or even the risk of being declared a proclaimed offender. Varun Khanna offers seasoned advocacy in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, focusing on NRI bail, FIR quashing, and the removal of proclamation orders.

With more than a decade of criminal law practice, the lawyer has built a reputation for securing bail for non‑resident clients facing serious charges. Varun Khanna regularly assists NRIs who are detained in India, quickly filing bail applications that emphasize the client’s overseas residence, lack of flight risk, and strong family ties. By presenting character references, financial documents, and assurances of compliance, the advocate often obtains interim or regular bail, allowing the client to return abroad while the case proceeds.

When an FIR has been lodged on questionable grounds, the lawyer examines the police report for procedural lapses, lack of jurisdiction, or absence of prima facie evidence. Varun Khanna prepares comprehensive quash petitions that argue the FIR is baseless, often citing inconsistencies in the statement and the violation of the client’s right to a fair investigation. Successful quashing of the FIR not only removes the shadow of criminal proceedings but also prevents the escalation to more severe charges.

In some cases, authorities issue proclamation or proclaimed offender orders when the accused fails to appear. Such orders can lead to attachment of property and a tarnished reputation. The lawyer skillfully files petitions to quash proclamation orders, demonstrating that the client’s non‑appearance was due to factors beyond control, such as medical emergencies or travel restrictions. By providing affidavits, medical records, and proof of communication with the court, Varun Khanna has persuaded the High Court to lift the proclamation, restoring the client’s ability to travel and protecting assets.

Clients repeatedly commend the lawyer’s transparent approach. From the initial consultation, Varun explains each procedural step, the timeline for bail hearings, FIR quash motions, and proclamation challenges. Regular status reports keep the client informed, and the advocate arranges video‑conference meetings to discuss strategy without the need for costly trips. This client‑centric method ensures that NRIs feel supported throughout the legal battle, regardless of distance.

Beyond courtroom battles, Varun Khanna stays active in NRI legal forums and publishes updates on recent High Court decisions affecting bail and proclamation matters. This ongoing engagement translates into cutting‑edge arguments that anticipate the bench’s concerns. With a high success rate in securing bail, quashing FIRs, and overturning proclamation orders, the lawyer provides a reliable path toward resolution and peace of mind for non‑resident Indians facing criminal accusations.
