Rohit Pandey

Profile description

You are stuck abroad because a Look Out Circular (L.O.C.) has been issued against you and you cannot travel back to India. Rohit Pandey understands how stressful this situation can be for an NRI facing a criminal investigation. With a focus on Look Out Circular writ petitions, Rohit Pandey routinely assists clients in challenging unlawful or misplaced L.O.C.s that block entry or exit from the country.

A Look Out Circular is a notice circulated among immigration authorities to prevent a person from leaving or entering India. Many NRIs discover the circular only after an attempt to board a flight or after a passport has been impounded. Rohit Pandey can explain the procedural framework behind L.O.C. issuance, identify gaps in the authorities' justification, and file a high‑court writ petition that compels the police or the Ministry of Home Affairs to withdraw the notice. The lawyer has successfully secured the release of passports for dozens of clients, allowing them to resume travel and protect their professional and family obligations.

Rohit Pandey earned an LLB from Panjab University, followed by a Master of Laws specializing in criminal procedure. Over the past twelve years, the lawyer has practiced at the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh and before the Supreme Court of India. During that time, Rohit Pandey handled more than one hundred writ petitions, many of which involved complex questions of jurisdiction, procedural fairness, and the rights of Indian citizens abroad. The lawyer has been recognized by peer groups for a strategic approach that blends rigorous legal research with compassionate client care.

The lawyer’s method begins with a thorough review of the L.O.C. order, the underlying FIR, and any supporting documents. Rohit Pandey then prepares a detailed affidavit and supporting evidence that demonstrate why the circular is either procedurally flawed or lacks substantive basis. By filing the petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer ensures that the matter is heard promptly, and if needed, takes the case to the Supreme Court of India for a definitive ruling. Regular updates keep the client informed at every stage, and the lawyer can arrange for immediate relief through interim orders that suspend the L.O.C. while the substantive petition proceeds.

If you are an NRI facing a travel restriction, Rohit Pandey can help you assess the strength of your case, outline the steps involved, and pursue a high‑court remedy that protects your right to movement. Contact the lawyer for a confidential consultation, and let the experience and dedication of a specialist in Look Out Circular writ petitions work towards restoring your freedom.
