Charanpreet Kalita

Profile description

An NRI who has been named in a Look Out Circular (LOC) may find every airline refusing boarding, while a criminal complaint lodged in India adds another layer of distress. Charanpreet Kalita is the lawyer equipped to defend against criminal complaints, challenge LOCs, and fight travel restrictions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s practice is dedicated to protecting the rights of Indians living abroad when they are suddenly ensnared in India’s criminal process.

Charanpreet Kalita has more than fifteen years of experience handling LOC writ petitions. The lawyer regularly assists clients by filing petitions that question the legal basis of the LOC, expose procedural flaws, and request immediate quashing. By presenting passport copies, travel itineraries, and affidavits confirming the client’s cooperation with authorities, Charanpreet Kalita has secured the removal of LOCs that previously blocked international travel. The lawyer’s ability to argue constitutional protection of the right to travel often convinces the Punjab and Haryana High Court to grant interim relief.

When a criminal complaint is lodged against an NRI, the stakes rise considerably.

The lawyer’s strategy includes highlighting any lack of jurisdiction, procedural lapses, or evidentiary gaps that undermine the prosecution’s case. Successful defenses have resulted in dismissal of charges, reduction of penalties, or even acquittal.

Travel restrictions imposed after an LOC or criminal complaint can jeopardize employment, education, and family commitments. Charanpreet Kalita’s practice includes filing writ petitions that argue the unreasonableness of the restriction and its adverse impact on the client’s livelihood. By citing Supreme Court precedents on the right to personal liberty and freedom of movement, the lawyer can persuade the high court to lift the restriction and allow the client to return home or travel for essential matters.
