Keerthana Juneja

Profile description

You have been notified that a Look‑Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you, preventing you from leaving India even though you are an NRI with a pending criminal case. Keerthana Juneja understands how alarming that can feel and steps in to protect your right to travel. With a background in criminal law from a premier university and more than twelve years of practice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer has built a reputation for turning complex LOC matters around.

Keerthana Juneja regularly assists clients who are caught in the grip of a LOC that appears to be based on incomplete evidence or procedural lapses. The lawyer’s approach begins with a meticulous review of the police report, the LOC order, and the underlying FIR. By identifying gaps in the factual matrix or violations of procedural safeguards, the lawyer can craft a focused writ petition that challenges the legality of the LOC. In several recent matters, the lawyer secured the immediate quash of the LOC, allowing clients to board flights within weeks of filing.

When an NRI faces foreign travel restrictions that stem from criminal investigations back home, the stakes are even higher. The lawyer can explain how the Supreme Court of India has interpreted the balance between the state’s security concerns and an individual’s fundamental right to liberty and movement. Keerthana Juneja draws on extensive experience filing special leave petitions and appeal briefs in the apex court. The lawyer has successfully argued that a blanket travel ban, without a clear charge sheet, contravenes constitutional safeguards. Such arguments have led to landmark rulings that restore travel rights while ensuring that legitimate investigations continue.

The lawyer also handles situations where a client is detained abroad and the Indian authorities seek to impose a travel ban retroactively. In those cases, Keerthana Juneja coordinates with foreign counsel, prepares detailed affidavits, and presents evidence that the alleged offence does not merit a restriction. The lawyer’s skill in weaving together domestic criminal law and international jurisdictional principles often convinces the High Court to lift the restriction on humanitarian and business grounds.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s clear communication style. Keerthana Juneja can explain the procedural steps, the likely timeline, and the documents required for each stage of a LOC writ petition or a Supreme Court challenge. The lawyer keeps clients updated on court orders, filing deadlines, and any interim relief that may be granted. With a track record of securing travel permissions for NRIs in over a hundred cases, the lawyer offers realistic expectations and a strategic plan that aims for swift resolution.

If you are an NRI confronting a Look‑Out Circular or a foreign travel ban, Keerthana Juneja can help you navigate the legal maze, protect your freedom to travel, and obtain the relief you need from the Punjab and Haryana High Court or the Supreme Court of India.
