Allahabad High Court is the principal court for the entire state of Uttar Pradesh — it has jurisdiction over 75 districts and handles a massive volume of writ petitions, criminal cases, civil appeals, and family law matters. NRIs with ongoing matters at the High Court or who need to initiate proceedings from abroad need an advocate enrolled there who can handle the case without requiring the client to travel for every hearing. This guide explains how NRI representation at Allahabad High Court works in practice.

- Family law: divorce, child custody, NRI spouse abandonment cases
- Service and government matters: pension disputes, property mutation challenges through administrative orders
- Writ petitions: challenging illegal government orders affecting NRI property or interests
- Revenue matters: appeal against Board of Revenue orders to the High Court
- FEMA and property purchase/disposal compliance questions for NRIs buying Indian property
The Power of Attorney — Foundation of NRI Representation
- The GPA is executed by the NRI in their country of residence — before a Notary Public
- The GPA must be apostilled (Hague Convention) or authenticated by the Indian Embassy/Consulate
- A properly authenticated GPA allows the representative to file pleadings, appear in court, sign documents
- A limited Power of Attorney can also be executed — restricting the scope to specific acts (e.g., one property transaction)
- The GPA does not need to be in the lawyer's name — a trusted family member in India can hold the GPA and sub-authorize the lawyer
- Advocate Faizan Siddiqui provides the specific GPA format required for Allahabad High Court proceedings

How NRI Representation Works in Practice
- Initial consultation: phone call or WhatsApp video — case facts discussed, strategy assessed
- Engagement and documentation: GPA execution, fee agreement, documents collected remotely
- Filing: petitions, applications, and pleadings filed at the High Court on the NRI's behalf
- Hearings: the advocate appears for every hearing — NRI does not need to be present
- Update after each hearing: Advocate sends a brief update — what happened and next steps
- Documents from India: obtained and forwarded to the NRI where needed; provided to court where required
- Response time to messages: Advocate Faizan Siddiqui is accessible by WhatsApp and phone
When Personal Appearance May Be Required
- Cross-examination: if the NRI is a witness in their own case, personal appearance at specific dates is required
- Settlement or compromise: some courts ask parties to be present for consent terms
- High-stakes affidavit execution: where the court requires personal verification
- Property handover or inspection: if court appoints a commission
- These occasions are known in advance — the NRI can plan travel with notice
- In some cases, video conferencing for deposition is possible — this has been increasingly accepted post-2020
