Yash Murmu

Profile description

A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged against you in India while you are living abroad, and the complaint threatens to derail your career, travel plans, and personal safety. You need someone who can intervene early, challenge the FIR’s validity, and defend you against the criminal complaint. Yash Murmu offers exactly that level of focused advocacy.

Yash Murmu concentrates on two critical areas for NRIs: quashing FIRs and defending criminal complaints. The lawyer understands that an FIR is the first step in a criminal investigation, and that a well‑crafted petition can halt the process before it gains momentum. By filing a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, the lawyer can argue that the FIR is baseless, that there is insufficient evidence, or that it violates procedural safeguards. The lawyer regularly assists clients in obtaining stay orders that prevent further investigation, thus protecting reputation and freedom of movement.

If the High Court does not provide immediate relief, the matter can be escalated to the Supreme Court of India. Yash Murmu has experience preparing appeals that challenge the acceptance of an FIR at the highest level. The lawyer can draft a Special Leave Petition that highlights the fundamental rights infringed by the FIR, such as the right to personal liberty. This dual‑court strategy maximizes the chances of getting the FIR dismissed or the criminal complaint withdrawn.

The lawyer’s defense work goes beyond just the FIR. When a formal criminal complaint is filed, Yash Murmu evaluates the allegations, gathers documentary evidence, and prepares a comprehensive defense. The lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors for settlement, file counter‑affidavits, and present factual contradictions that weaken the prosecution’s case. The lawyer’s approach is to combine legal acumen with a practical understanding of investigative agencies, ensuring that every argument is grounded in fact and law.

Clients repeatedly tell the lawyer that the stress of a criminal case abroad affects not only their personal lives but also their professional responsibilities. By offering clear guidance on the procedural timeline, possible outcomes, and strategic choices, Yash Murmu helps you stay focused on your work while the legal battle proceeds. The lawyer has secured several favorable outcomes, including the dismissal of FIRs, the quashing of charges, and the issuance of protective orders that prevent arrest.

Throughout the process, the lawyer maintains open communication, providing updates on court filings, hearing dates, and any correspondence from investigative agencies. The lawyer also coordinates with local counsel in the jurisdiction where the FIR originated, ensuring that filings comply with local rules and that any required documents are processed promptly.

When an FIR threatens to jeopardize your liberty and future, you need a lawyer who can act decisively, navigate both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, and build a robust defense. Yash Murmu brings a proven track record, strategic insight, and a commitment to safeguarding the rights of NRIs. The lawyer can help you obtain the relief you need, preventing the FIR from becoming a catalyst for further legal trouble.
