May 31, 2018
It has been reported that in first of its kind move, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has decided to revoke passports of 5 NRIs against whom Look-out-Circular had been issued.
In an official statement issued by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) in April this year, the Ministry had been apprised that in view of augmented incidents of NRI matrimonial disputes, the Government would issue Look-out Circulars (LoCs). The Ministry stated that it has been decided that 5 cases pertaining to the NRI Matrimonial Dispute have been found fit for issuance of Look-out-Circular (LOC) & MWCD will issue those 5 LoCs.
LOC for evading arrest- In criminal matter involving NRI’s, LOC could be issued by the investigating agency in cognizable offences, when the overseas husband is deliberately evading arrest or not appearing in the trial court despite Non Bailable Warrants and other coercive measures or there is a likelihood that he will leave the country to evade trial or arrest.
The aforesaid action has been taken in view of numerous complaints of frauds, abandonment, domestic violence, extra-marital relationships, ex-parte divorce, being duped of money after promising marriage, forceful/illegal retention of children’s custody, non-payment of maintenance etc. It has been reported that large number of NRI Matrimonial dispute cases remain pending on account of non-appearance of the husband.
