Punjab and Haryana HC Orders Withdrawal of Look Out Circular Against NRI in Custody Case
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the withdrawal of a Look Out Circular (LOC) against a US-based Indian national involved in a domestic violence and custody dispute. The man, who secured divorce and custody of his twins in the US, was detained at Chandigarh airport due to an FIR filed by his former wife's father. The court found no magistrate order for biometric collection and noted a stay on coercive actions, ruling the LOC unjustified and directing its cancellation.
