Hiral Tudu

Profile description

A Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you, and suddenly international travel becomes impossible. You may be a Non‑Resident Indian (NRI) facing criminal allegations back home, and the threat of arrest abroad looms large. Hiral Tudu specialises in filing and contesting Look Out Circular writ petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, offering a lifeline to those whose liberty is at stake across borders.

When an LOC is issued, Hiral Tudu acts quickly to gather all relevant documentation – the circulation order, the underlying charge sheet, and any evidence of the client’s cooperation with authorities. The lawyer then prepares a writ petition that questions the legal basis of the LOC, argues procedural improprieties, and highlights the client’s clean record, ties to the community, and willingness to appear before the court when required. By presenting a compelling narrative, Hiral Tudu seeks an order that either stays the LOC or directs authorities to reassess it.

A key element of the defence is demonstrating that the LOC violates the client’s fundamental right to travel and that the underlying investigation lacks sufficient merit. Hiral Tudu collaborates with investigators abroad, obtains affidavits confirming the client’s non‑involvement, and presents these as part of the writ petition. This coordinated approach often results in the High Court directing law enforcement agencies to withdraw or modify the circular.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s transparent briefing style. Hiral Tudu explains the procedural steps required to challenge an LOC, the possible outcomes, and the timeline for a High Court ruling. By keeping the client informed, the lawyer reduces anxiety and enables proactive planning for professional and personal commitments that may be affected.

Success stories include a case where the lawyer secured an immediate stay on an LOC issued to a diaspora entrepreneur, allowing the client to attend a critical business conference abroad while the court examined the merits of the underlying criminal case. Another notable example involved a student on a scholarship who faced an LOC for alleged cyber‑misuse; Hiral Tudu’s writ petition highlighted the lack of direct evidence and resulted in the circular’s cancellation, preserving the client’s academic future.

Educational credentials feature a law degree from a premier university, with additional training in international criminal law and extradition procedures. Continuous participation in seminars hosted by the High Court ensures that Hiral Tudu remains updated on evolving jurisprudence related to LOCs and cross‑border criminal matters.

If an LOC threatens your freedom to travel or your professional obligations, the first step is to seek a lawyer who can swiftly challenge the order before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Hiral Tudu provides that decisive, knowledgeable defence, working to protect your rights and keep your life moving forward.
