Nida Shrivastava

Profile description

If a criminal case has resulted in a proclamation that labels you a proclaimed offender, everyday activities such as travel, employment, and banking can be halted. Nida Shrivastava, an advocate practising in Chandigarh, focuses on quashing criminal proceedings and overturning proclamation orders in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

Shrivastava holds a LL.B. from Guru Nanak Dev University and a Master’s in Criminal Law from the National Law School of India University. With more than fourteen years of courtroom exposure, the advocate has handled numerous high‑stakes quashing petitions, securing relief for individuals caught in procedural traps or over‑zealous investigations.

The core of the practice involves examining whether the High Court’s judgment contains errors of law, insufficient evidence, or violations of constitutional rights. By filing a petition for quashing, Shrivastava argues that the prosecution’s case fails to meet the legal threshold for continuation. The advocate regularly assists clients in gathering fresh forensic reports, witness testimonies, and expert opinions that can dismantle the prosecution’s narrative.

Proclamation orders are issued when a court believes an accused may evade the process or tamper with evidence. Shrivastava can file a petition specifically aimed at cancelling such orders. The advocate demonstrates to the bench that the accused has cooperated, that there is no flight risk, and that the proclamation unjustly curtails fundamental freedoms. By invoking Supreme Court precedents on the right to personal liberty, the advocate often succeeds in obtaining immediate relief.

When a High Court order is appealed, the matter may ascend to the Supreme Court of India. Shrivastava is well‑versed in drafting special leave petitions and review petitions that challenge the quashing of criminal proceedings at the apex level. The advocate’s experience with Supreme Court procedure ensures that petitions are timed correctly, supported by authoritative citations, and presented with concise oral arguments.

During the first meeting, Shrivastava outlines the evidentiary gaps, the legal strategy, and a realistic timeline for each stage. The fee structure is transparent, with no hidden costs once the petition is filed. The advocate also provides regular case updates, so clients stay informed while the courts deliberate.

Recent outcomes include the successful quashing of a proclamation that had barred a young professional from traveling abroad, and the reversal of a criminal proceeding where the evidence was later found to be fabricated. In each case, Shrivastava’s rigorous documentation and skilled advocacy turned adverse orders into complete dismissals.

If you are facing a criminal judgment or a proclamation that threatens your freedom, a consultation with Nida Shrivastava can clarify your options. The advocate will assess the merits of filing a quashing petition, prepare the necessary affidavits, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, if needed, before the Supreme Court of India. After a favorable ruling, Shrivastava assists in clearing the criminal record and restoring your reputation. Through determined representation, the goal is to protect your rights and enable you to move forward without the shadow of a pending criminal order.
