Quick Summary
This case concerns a former independent director who resigned in 2015 and relocated abroad. In 2021, he was prevented from leaving India due to a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued at the request of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) concerning his former company. The director challenged the LOC, arguing it was issued unfairly after his resignation and relocation.
