Delhi High Court Limits Use of Look-Out Circulars to Restrict Travel Indefinitely
The Delhi High Court ruled that issuing or maintaining Look-Out Circulars (LOCs) solely due to pending investigations or fears of a borrower fleeing cannot justify restricting travel indefinitely. The court emphasized that LOCs are coercive measures requiring specific justification and cannot be routine. This ruling arose from petitions challenging LOCs issued against individuals involved in fraud and loan default investigations, clarifying that ongoing trials and bail conditions can regulate travel without indefinite LOCs.
