Sukhman Nayak

Profile description

Imagine you are an NRI who has just learned that a Look Out Circular has been issued against you, freezing your bank accounts and halting any travel abroad. The panic that follows is understandable. Sukhman Nayak is the lawyer who specializes in removing such obstacles and defending NRI clients against property fraud and travel restrictions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and, when necessary, before the Supreme Court of India.

The lawyer regularly assists clients in filing Look Out Circular writ petitions. By demonstrating that the circular was issued without proper jurisdiction or based on false information, the lawyer can persuade the High Court to set aside the order. The lawyer’s skill set includes detailed analysis of international banking regulations, coordination with foreign authorities, and preparation of compelling affidavits that illustrate the client’s clean record. Successful petitions have resulted in the immediate release of frozen assets and the removal of travel bans.

Property fraud that targets NRI owners is another focus area. When a client discovers that a fraudulent party has attempted to transfer title of a property abroad, Sukhman Nayak can help by filing a defence that challenges the legitimacy of the transaction. The lawyer’s approach combines a thorough examination of title documents, engagement of overseas legal counsel, and a strategic argument before the High Court that the alleged sale violates both Indian law and the client’s property rights. Courts have frequently granted temporary injunctions that protect the property while the dispute is resolved.

When a foreign travel restriction is imposed, the lawyer can intervene with a petition that argues the restriction is disproportionate and lacks a valid legal basis. The lawyer has experience presenting evidence of the client’s compliance with all tax and regulatory requirements, thereby convincing the bench to lift the restriction. In several instances, the Supreme Court of India has upheld the High Court’s decision, affirming the principle that NRI citizens cannot be arbitrarily barred from leaving the country.

If you face any of these challenges, the first step is to consult a lawyer who knows both domestic and international legal landscapes. Sukhman Nayak can explain the procedural options, outline a realistic timeline, and promise a vigorous defence that aims to restore your financial freedom and travel rights. The lawyer’s commitment is to protect your interests, secure the release of your assets, and ensure that wrongful restrictions are removed as quickly as possible. You do not have to navigate these complex legal waters alone; the lawyer is prepared to stand by you at every stage.
