Common NRI Legal Issues
Can an NRI file or defend a case in India without coming for every hearing?
In many civil, property and family matters, routine appearances can be managed through counsel once proper authority documents are in place. Personal presence may still be required for evidence, settlement statements, mediation, criminal proceedings or where the court specifically directs it.
What should I do if relatives have occupied or transferred my property?
The first step is to collect the title documents, revenue record, sale deed, mutation entries, possession details and any recent transfer papers. Depending on the facts, remedies may include a civil suit, revenue proceedings, injunction, partition, police complaint or High Court petition.
Can divorce or custody proceedings involve video conferencing?
Courts may permit video conferencing for appropriate hearings, especially where a party is living abroad. The position depends on the nature of the hearing, local court practice and whether the party's personal statement or evidence is being recorded.
Do NRI clients need a power of attorney?
A power of attorney is often useful for civil and property matters, but it must be drafted for the specific purpose and properly executed. Some proceedings still require the party's own affidavit, statement or appearance.
