Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Punjab NRI cell replace the local police station?
No. It may route or monitor a complaint, while statutory investigation remains with the competent police unit.
Should a Canadian authority document be signed before the FIR is obtained?
Usually the scope should be settled after the Indian record and required acts are known.
Does Canadian citizenship cancel an Indian criminal proceeding?
No. Citizenship or residence abroad does not by itself terminate an Indian FIR or court order.
Can proof of Canadian residence explain missed service?
It may be relevant when challenging service or alleged evasion, but the full order sheet must be examined.
What should be checked before connecting through an Indian airport?
Check the case stage, warrant or proclamation and any immigration restraint; an airport connection can still involve Indian controls.
Can a Canadian police record decide the Indian allegations?
It may provide evidence on a particular fact, but the Indian investigating agency and court assess the Indian case.
