Pranesh Bora

Profile description

You have been identified in a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by Indian authorities, and the notice warns that you may be arrested if you return to the country. The notice not only limits travel but also hampers professional opportunities abroad. Pranesh Bora offers a focused remedy. As a lawyer specialised in Look Out Circular Writ Petitions and the quashing of proclamation and proclaimed offender orders, Pranesh Bora works exclusively before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh to protect the rights of NRIs.

A Look Out Circular is a warning issued to immigration officials and police, signalling that the person is wanted for a criminal case. The lawyer can file a writ petition challenging the legality of the LOC, arguing that the issuance was arbitrary, unsupported by evidence, or violated procedural rights. Simultaneously, when a court declares someone a proclaimed offender, the lawyer can seek quashing of that order, restoring the client’s standing and enabling travel without fear of arrest.

Pranesh Bora holds a Bachelor of Laws from a distinguished Indian university and a Master of Laws in International Human Rights from a reputed overseas university. With over sixteen years of practice, the lawyer has appeared regularly before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, handling complex writ matters for NRI clients. Early experience as a research clerk for a High Court judge sharpened the ability to identify procedural lapses that often underpin LOCs and proclamation orders.

The lawyer’s case history demonstrates tangible impact. In a recent petition, the High Court set aside a Look Out Circular that had been issued on unverified suspicion, allowing the client to resume international travel and business operations. In another instance, a proclaimed offender order related to a tax evasion case was quashed after the lawyer established that the underlying investigation lacked jurisdiction, resulting in the removal of the client from the warrant list and restoration of reputation.

Clients praise Pranesh Bora for clear explanations and prompt action. The lawyer outlines how the writ process works, what documents are required, and the realistic timeline for a hearing. By coordinating with local counsel and providing regular status reports, the lawyer ensures families stay informed throughout the litigation. The approach combines rigorous legal scrutiny with empathy for the disruption that LOCs cause to personal and professional life.

If a Look Out Circular or proclaimed offender order blocks your movements, Pranesh Bora can assess the legal basis, draft a strong writ petition, and present arguments before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The lawyer’s extensive experience, strategic use of precedent, and dedication to NRI rights create a reliable pathway to lift the restriction and restore freedom of travel.
