Tharun Dhillon

Profile description

A close relative abroad receives a Look‑Out Circular from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, warning that a warrant may be issued if they do not appear. The notice can feel ominous, but Tharun Dhillon focuses on Look Out Circular writ petitions and can help you neutralize the threat.

Tharun Dhillon has spent over thirteen years building expertise in securing relief from Look Out Circulars for non‑resident Indians. The lawyer graduated with honors from the University of Delhi’s Faculty of Law and later completed a master’s program in international criminal procedure. Throughout the career, the lawyer has appeared before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India to contest circulars that jeopardize an NRI’s liberty and reputation.

When a client reaches out, Tharun Dhillon begins by analyzing the circular’s language, the underlying charge, and the jurisdictional basis for its issuance. The lawyer can explain how a writ petition can be filed to challenge the legality of the circular, request a stay of execution, and protect the client’s right to be heard. The lawyer regularly assists NRIs in preparing affidavits, gathering foreign court orders, and presenting evidence that shows the circular was issued without proper notice or exceeds statutory authority.

The lawyer’s track record includes securing stays on Look Out Circulars that would have resulted in the arrest of an NRI entrepreneur on alleged money‑laundering charges. In another case, the Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a circular after the lawyer demonstrated that the investigating agency had no jurisdiction over the client’s overseas activities. At the Supreme Court of India level, Tharun Dhillon has obtained directions that clarified the procedural safeguards NRIs are entitled to when faced with cross‑border notices.

Communication with clients is clear and prompt. The lawyer updates families on filing deadlines, explains the arguments being made, and advises on steps to protect assets and personal freedom while the petition is pending. The lawyer also coordinates with local counsel in Chandigarh to ensure that any interim orders from the High Court are promptly complied with, reducing the risk of accidental detention.

Staying abreast of recent judgments from both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India enables the lawyer to craft petitions that reflect current legal standards. By leveraging a network of senior advocates and court officials, Tharun Dhillon can secure early hearing dates and present concise, compelling arguments that often lead to the withdrawal or modification of the Look Out Circular. The lawyer’s combination of detailed legal analysis, strategic filing, and client‑focused support turns a daunting notice into a manageable legal challenge.
