Tejas Bhatt

Profile description

Imagine receiving a Look Out Circular (LOC) that restricts your ability to leave India, while you are an NRI needing to travel for work or family emergencies. Tejas Bhatt specializes in Look Out Circular Writ Petitions, NRI Anticipatory Bail, and challenges to foreign travel restrictions, helping clients regain their freedom of movement through the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Bhatt’s expertise in LOC writ petitions begins with a thorough review of the circular’s basis. The lawyer can help you gather essential documents—such as passport copies, visa stamps, and proof of residence abroad—to demonstrate that the LOC is unwarranted. By filing a well‑structured writ petition, the lawyer aims to persuade the High Court to quash the LOC, allowing you to travel without fear of arrest.

When a criminal case is pending, the threat of immediate arrest can be mitigated through anticipatory bail. Bhatt regularly assists NRI clients in drafting anticipatory bail applications that articulate the client’s overseas ties, clean record, and willingness to cooperate with the investigation. The lawyer’s arguments often emphasize the disproportionate impact of arrest on an NRI’s professional and personal life, seeking a protective order that prevents detention before trial.

Travel restrictions imposed by authorities can also arise from misunderstandings about pending investigations. Bhatt can challenge such restrictions by filing petitions that question the legal basis for denying passport renewal or imposing travel bans. The lawyer leverages case law from the High Court to show that undue travel limitations violate fundamental rights and can be lifted when proper safeguards are in place.

Clients commend the lawyer for clear communication and a proactive approach. Virtual meetings allow the lawyer to explain the procedural steps, set realistic expectations, and prepare the client for any court appearances. By integrating detailed factual analysis with persuasive advocacy, Bhatt works to secure swift relief—whether through quashing an LOC, obtaining anticipatory bail, or lifting travel bans—so that NRIs can focus on their careers and families without unnecessary legal hindrance.
