Jasraj Bora

Profile description

You may have learned that a proclamation or proclaimed offender order has been issued against you, freezing bank accounts and restricting movement. Such an order can halt personal and professional life, especially if you live in Chandigarh and need to travel or conduct business. Jasraj Bora offers focused expertise to challenge these orders and protect your rights.

Jasraj Bora’s practice centers on Quashing of Proclamation and Proclaimed Offender Orders. The lawyer operates in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India, ensuring a two‑tiered approach that can dismantle an unlawful order at the source and, if required, secure a definitive ruling from the nation’s highest court.

When an order is served, the lawyer first conducts a rapid assessment of the procedural history. This includes verifying that proper notice was given, confirming that the court had jurisdiction, and checking whether the underlying allegations meet the statutory threshold for a proclamation. The lawyer regularly assists clients by filing an urgent application under Section 482 of the CrPC to quash the order, arguing that the proclamation was issued without sufficient evidence or in violation of natural justice.

The lawyer’s strategy also involves preparing a comprehensive affidavit that outlines the client’s circumstances, such as residence abroad, lack of flight risk, and any ongoing investigations that already provide due process. By presenting this evidence to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer has secured numerous interim orders that temporarily suspend the proclamation while the full matter is examined.

If the High Court declines relief, Jasraj Bora can elevate the case to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer drafts a special leave petition that raises constitutional questions about the right to liberty and the proportionality of the proclamation. By citing precedent where the Supreme Court emphasized the need for a fair hearing before imposing severe restrictions, the lawyer has achieved final quash orders that completely remove the proclaimed offender designation.

Clients often commend the lawyer for clear communication about procedural steps and realistic expectations. The lawyer explains the timeline for filing, how the court will consider evidence, and the possible outcomes, including full withdrawal of the proclamation, partial relief, or a directive for a fresh investigation. This transparency helps clients remain confident throughout a stressful period.

Successes include a case where a businessman facing a proclamation for alleged tax evasion had the order dismissed after the lawyer demonstrated that the underlying notice was issued without proper service. In another matter, a young professional confronted with a proclaimed offender order related to a property dispute saw the order lifted after the lawyer proved the allegations were based on a clerical error. Both outcomes restored the clients’ ability to travel, access funds, and continue their livelihoods.

If you are dealing with a proclamation or proclaimed offender order, Jasraj Bora can help you assess the legal deficiencies, file urgent relief applications, and, if needed, pursue a definitive judgment from the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer’s combined experience in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court provides a powerful platform to protect your freedoms and safeguard your future.
