Kritika Kalluri

Profile description

You might have just learned that a Look‑Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you while you are residing abroad, preventing you from entering India without a court‑ordered clearance. Kritika Kalluri, a seasoned lawyer practicing in Chandigarh, focuses on Look‑Out Circular writ petitions, the quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders, and anticipatory bail applications for NRIs before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Kritika Kalluri earned a LL.B. from Panjab University and later completed a Master’s in Criminal Law from the National Academy of Legal Studies & Research, Hyderabad. With over twelve years of dedicated practice, the lawyer has become a trusted advocate for NRIs who face sudden legal actions while overseas. The lawyer’s deep understanding of both procedural and substantive criminal law enables swift interventions that protect the liberty of clients far from home.

When an LOC is issued, the immediate concern is the risk of arrest at any Indian airport or border crossing. Kritika Kalluri can help you file a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, seeking an order that stays the LOC until the matter is fully heard. The lawyer’s approach combines a thorough review of the underlying case, gathering of supporting documents from abroad, and a well‑crafted argument that emphasizes the petitioner’s right to travel and the absence of a prima facie case.

In parallel, the lawyer regularly assists clients who have been declared proclaimed offenders or have received proclamation orders after failing to appear in court. By filing a petition to quash such orders, Kritika Kalluri can restore the client’s standing, prevent the attachment of assets, and protect against further persecution. Recent successes include the reversal of a proclamation order that had frozen a family’s overseas bank accounts, enabling the client to meet medical expenses without hindrance.

Anticipatory bail is another critical tool for NRIs who fear imminent arrest. Kritika Kalluri can file an anticipatory bail application that pre‑emptively secures liberty, ensuring that the client is not detained pending trial. The lawyer explains the conditions that may be imposed, such as reporting requirements or surrender of passport, and negotiates terms that minimize disruption to the client’s life abroad.

Clients praise the lawyer for clear, compassionate communication. Kritika Kalluri provides regular updates, explains each procedural step, and translates Indian legal terminology into understandable language for families overseas. The lawyer coordinates with foreign consulates, ensuring that any diplomatic considerations are addressed while pursuing legal relief.

Recognition of the lawyer’s expertise includes a commendation from the Punjab and Haryana High Court for outstanding contributions to NRI criminal jurisprudence. The lawyer also conducts quarterly seminars for NRIs on navigating Indian criminal procedures, reinforcing the commitment to education and empowerment.

If you are dealing with a Look‑Out Circular, a proclamation order, or fear an imminent arrest while living abroad, Kritika Kalluri can evaluate your situation, prepare an effective writ petition or bail application, and guide you through the High Court process. The lawyer’s blend of specialized knowledge, courtroom skill, and a client‑focused approach offers a solid foundation for protecting your rights.
