Understanding Lookout Circulars: What they mean and why they're issued
Enforcement Directorate has summoned Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani for questioning on 5 August in a money laundering case linked to an alleged bank loan fraud worth crores of rupees against his group companies, official sources were quoted as saying by news agency PTI on Friday. The news agency said the federal probe agency has also issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) against the 66-year-old businessman to prevent him from travelling abroad. Anil Ambani has been asked to depose at the ED headquarters in Delhi on 5 August as the case has been registered here. The agency will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) once he deposes, the agency said. Some executives of Ambani's group companies have also been summoned over the next few days. The summons came after the federal agency conducted searches at 35 premises of 50 companies and 25 people, including executives of his business group, last week. The searches, launched on July 24, went on for three days. The action pertains to alleged financial irregularities and collective loan "diversion" pegged at more than ₹ 17,000 crore by multiple Anil Ambani group companies, including Reliance Infrastructure (R Infra). A lookout circular (LOC) is a circular letter used by authorities in India to check whether a travelling person is wanted by the police. It may also be used at immigration checks at international borders, such as airports or seaports. Lookout circulars are opened to search for absconding criminals and also to prevent and monitor effectively the entry or exit of anyone who may be sought by law enforcement agencies. When issued, they are sent to all immigration checkpoints in the country. An LOC is valid for an initial period of one year, but can be extended. LOCs are primarily aimed at individuals from leaving the country to avoid legal action, investigation, or arrest. The Bureau of Immigration of the Home Ministry is the only executing agency. Details such as First Information Report (FIR) number, court case number are to be mandatorily provided with name, passport number for an LOC, according to according to a 2010 official memorandum of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Since immigration posts are manned by the BOI officials, they are the first responders to execute LOCs by stopping, detaining, or informing about an individual to the issuing agency. Various authorities can issue an LOC, including police officers above a certain rank, magistrates, and specific agencies like the CBI, and the ED, as in Anil Ambani case. Once an LOC is issued by the particular agency, it's circulated to all immigration and border control points. The idea is to ensure that immigration officials are aware of the individual's presence and can prevent his/her departure. An LOC is issued primarily because of any of the following reasons: -When someone deliberately evades arrest and is wanted in a criminal case. -When an NBW is issued against a person. -When someone is accused of financial irregularities. A Lookout Circular is primarily aimed at individuals from leaving the country to avoid legal action. -Or in case there is a chance that the person accused of a crime might flee the country.

‘Vague, without necessary particulars': Telangana High Court quashes FIR against KTR in fake videos case
The Telangana High Court Friday quashed the proceedings against Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislator K T Rama Rao in a criminal case registered against him at the Medipally police station last year. The First Information Report (FIR) was lodged based on a complaint lodged by then MLC candidate Chintapandu Naveen alias Teenmaar Mallana. Naveen alleged that Rama Rao, along with Ramesh Babu, the personal assistant of Suryapet MLA G Jagdish Reddy, were involved in a 'vicious, scandalous and malicious campaign' against him. He alleged that they were circulating 'fake videos' on social media platforms to damage his reputation, and sway the electoral outcomes in the ensuing MLC elections for the Warangal-Nalgonda-Khammam constituency. While dealing with the criminal petition, Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya observed the complaint's contents do not satisfy any of the provisions mentioned in the FIR, and the only allegation that the petitioners were circulating fake videos… was 'vague and without necessary particulars'. The court also stated that the de facto complainant (Naveen) failed to provide any evidence despite being served two notices by the police in April and June 2025. 'Inherent power under Section 482 (of CrPC) can be exercised either to prevent abuse of law or to secure the ends of justice. The present case qualifies under both these yardsticks,' Justice Bhattacharya stated. The bench added that no cognizable offence or offence of any kind is disclosed against the petitioners in the complaint FIR for the court to permit the investigation to continue against the petitioners. The accused were charged under sections 505(2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and sections 66-C and 66-D (identity theft and punishment for cheating by personation using a computer resource) of the Information Technology Act. Ramana Rao T V, the counsel for KTR, contended the allegations were false and fabricated, and that the complaint does not disclose any criminal intent on the part of the accused. He contended that the alleged statements, even if true, would not create rumours, promote enmity, hatred, or ill-will between classes of people. He described the complaint as vague and absurd, as it lacked specifics about the alleged fake video, the date it circulated on the specific social media platforms used. Stating that there is no allegation of identity theft or cheating by personation using a computer resource, the counsel argued that there were no ingredients for charges under the IT Act.
