Surabhi Kisku

Profile description

You are an Indian citizen living abroad who has suddenly learned that a Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you, that a proclamation as a declared offender has been entered, and that your passport has been impounded, effectively freezing your ability to travel and conduct business. The combined impact of these actions can be devastating, especially when they are being processed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Surabhi Kisku is a focused advocate who regularly assists NRIs in challenging each of these severe measures.

An LOC acts as a flag that alerts immigration officials and police to stop the individual at any point of entry or exit. Surabhi Kisku carefully reviews the basis for the LOC, gathering proof that the alleged offenses are baseless, the procedural notice was not served, or the investigation lacks substantive evidence. By filing a precise writ petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the advocate seeks an immediate quash of the LOC, restoring the client’s freedom to travel and eliminating the risk of arrest at borders.

Proclamation as a 'proclaimed offender' typically follows a failure to appear in court and can lead to severe penalties, including attachment of property. The advocate investigates whether the client was properly served with summons and whether any justified reasons for non‑appearance exist, such as medical emergencies or procedural errors. Surabhi Kisku then prepares a comprehensive writ petition that challenges the legality of the proclamation, presenting affidavits, medical certificates, and jurisdictional arguments. When the Punjab and Haryana High Court grants the quash order, the client’s legal status is restored and any attached assets are released.

An impounded passport not only curtails travel but also hampers the client’s ability to fulfill professional obligations abroad. Surabhi Kisku’s expertise in passport impounding writ petitions involves scrutinizing the underlying FIR and the authority’s justification for seizure. The advocate files a petition that highlights the client’s clean criminal record abroad, the absence of flight risk, and the disproportionate impact on livelihood. By securing a prompt writ from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the lawyer restores the passport, allowing the client to resume international movement without further hindrance.

Over the past thirteen years, Surabhi Kisku has successfully handled more than three hundred LOC petitions, proclamation challenges, and passport writs for NRIs. The advocate’s meticulous case preparation and strategic filing have resulted in a high approval rate, with many orders granted within weeks of filing. Clients frequently note the lawyer’s clear communication, swift action, and unwavering focus on protecting their freedom and assets despite being continents apart.

NRIs often need to act quickly across different time zones. Surabhi Kisku offers virtual consultations that accommodate the client’s local working hours, and utilizes encrypted file‑sharing services to exchange sensitive documents safely. The advocate also coordinates with local investigators, passport offices, and police departments in India to obtain real‑time updates, ensuring that each writ petition reflects the most current facts. This proactive coordination minimizes delays and strengthens the case before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Whether the immediate priority is lifting a Look Out Circular, overturning a proclamation, or retrieving an impounded passport, Surabhi Kisku combines thorough legal analysis with a client‑centric approach. The advocate’s fluency in English and several Indian languages helps bridge communication gaps, making complex legal concepts understandable for families abroad.
