Profile description

If you are an Indian citizen living abroad and your passport has been impounded, or if you need to challenge a lower‑court decision that affects your right to travel, the situation can feel urgent and confusing. In such critical moments, Yamini Kisku serves as a skilled advocate who specializes in NRI special leave petitions, appeals and passport impounding writ petitions. With extensive practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and a proven track record at the Supreme Court of India, Yamini Kisku regularly assists non‑resident Indians who need swift and effective legal remedies.

The lawyer’s work on NRI special leave petitions involves filing applications to the Supreme Court of India when a lower court or an administrative authority has denied relief that directly impacts the client’s rights abroad. Yamini Kisku has successfully argued cases where NRI clients faced travel bans, detention by foreign authorities, or wrongful confiscation of assets. By highlighting jurisdictional issues, international law considerations and the client’s strong ties to India, the lawyer persuades the Supreme Court to grant special leave and review the lower decision. These petitions often result in the restoration of travel documents or a reversal of punitive orders.

When a passport is impounded by Indian authorities, the lawyer can file writ petitions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court demanding immediate release. Yamini Kisku knows how to craft urgent applications that stress the client’s need to attend to family emergencies, medical treatment or business obligations abroad. The lawyer works closely with immigration officials, presenting evidence of the client’s lawful status, the absence of any criminal obstruction, and the disproportionality of the impoundment. Successful writ petitions have led to prompt orders directing authorities to return passports, allowing clients to resume their overseas commitments.

Appeals are another core component of the practice. If a lower court dismisses an NRI’s request for relief, Yamini Kisku can file a meticulous appeal, pointing out errors in fact or law, misinterpretation of statutory provisions, and the broader impact on the client’s rights. The lawyer’s experience before the High Court ensures that every appeal is supported by comprehensive research, precedent citations and a clear narrative that resonates with the bench. Whether the appeal concerns denial of a special leave petition or an adverse decision on a writ, the lawyer strives to secure a reversal that safeguards the client’s freedom of movement.

Clients frequently commend Yamini Kisku for a calm, strategic approach that demystifies complex procedural steps. The lawyer explains the distinct roles of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, guiding clients through each stage with transparency. By maintaining open communication, the lawyer reduces anxiety and helps clients understand the timelines, required documentation and possible outcomes. Whether you are battling passport impoundment, seeking a special leave petition to overturn an adverse decision, or preparing an appeal against a lower‑court ruling, Yamini Kisku can help you protect your rights, regain mobility and move forward with confidence.
