NRI Legal Services
India — Property, POA & Criminal Defence

NRIs face a unique set of legal vulnerabilities in India. Property left in the care of relatives gets encroached upon, tenants refuse to vacate, fraudulent sale deeds are executed — sometimes using forged Power of Attorneys. Criminal cases are filed to coerce NRI families into settling property disputes. Family matters like divorce, child custody, and inheritance become complex when one party is abroad. Without a dedicated legal representative in India who understands Allahabad High Court procedure, NRIs are at a significant disadvantage. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui has acted for NRI clients from the USA, UAE, UK, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Germany — providing practical legal strategy that accounts for both Indian law and the realities of being physically absent from India.

A Power of Attorney (POA) is the most important document for any NRI dealing with property or legal matters in India. It authorises a named person in India to act on your behalf — buy or sell property, appear in court, sign agreements, or manage your affairs. For NRIs, there are two paths: (1) Execute the POA at the Indian Consulate or Embassy in your country, get it apostilled, and courier it to India for adjudication and registration. (2) Execute it in India during a visit, registered before the Sub-Registrar. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui drafts court-proof POAs, advises on the correct scope and limitations, and ensures registration is done correctly to prevent challenges by opposing parties.

Property disputes are the single most common legal issue faced by NRIs with family roots in Uttar Pradesh. These range from ancestral partition matters to outright land grabbing. In many cases, local district court proceedings drag on for years. Allahabad High Court intervention — via writ petitions, revision petitions, or contempt applications — is often needed to accelerate justice or enforce stalled orders. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui has deep experience in UP revenue law, the RERA framework, and High Court property jurisprudence, making him the right choice for NRIs seeking swift resolution of complex property disputes.

NRIs are increasingly targeted with false criminal cases in India — particularly cheating (Section 420 IPC / 318 BNS), criminal breach of trust, 498A domestic violence, and property-related FIRs. If you are an NRI and a criminal case has been registered against you in India, you face arrest the moment you land in India. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files anticipatory bail applications under Section 438 CrPC and FIR quashing petitions under Section 482 CrPC (now BNSS 528) at Allahabad High Court — protecting you from arrest and, where the case is malafide, getting the FIR quashed entirely.
