Look-Out Circular Is A Coercive Measure, Has Adverse Consequences: Andhra Pradesh HC Says Authorities Should Apply Mind Before Issuing LOCs

Live Law  

Justice Subba Reddy Satti of the Andhra Pradesh High Court has held that a Look-Out Circular is a coercive measure that certainly has adverse civil consequences inasmuch as it makes “a person surrender and consequentially interferes with his right to personal liberty and free movement.” The Court further held that the issuing authority should apply its mind to the facts of each case before issuing an LOC. The ruling came in a case where the Court was dealing with a writ petition that sought to declare the Look-Out Circular issued against the petitioner by respondents 1 to 3 at the instance of 4 to 6 in Crime No.319 of 2024, Airport Police Station, Visakhapatnam, as illegal, arbitrary, and violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Thammineni Jyothsna Rani lodged a complaint against the petitioner, his mother, sister, and another, alleging harassment before the Disha Police Station, Visakhapatnam. The 5th respondent was, thus, directed to withdraw the LOC issued on 17.09.2024 in Crime No.319 of 2024, Airport Police Station, Visakhapatnam.
