📌 Overview
Imagine learning that you are wanted in a criminal case you never knew existed—not through a court notice, but while traveling.
This is a true and inspiring story of a client who almost lost his liberty to an unknown Look Out Circular (LOC)—until legal wisdom stepped in.
⚠️ The Unexpected Shock: Detained Without Warning
Our client was a respectable, law-abiding citizen with no criminal history. He had never been questioned, summoned, or warned.
While preparing for an international business trip, he was suddenly stopped at the airport. Officials hinted at a Look Out Circular issued in his name—based on a criminal case he knew nothing about.
> 😨 “I was stunned. I had no idea any FIR had been registered. I felt helpless.”
