MEN CELL : Delhi में पुराने CAW CELL Complaint 498A/406 case के साथ LOC कैसे check करें - How to Check an LOC Linked to an Old Matrimonial Case?

CAW CELL DELHI | MenCell.Org Delhi: Matrimonial FIR के बाद Airport पर LOC से रोक दिया जाए तो क्या करें?


You are living abroad, working normally, travelling between countries — and suddenly an immigration alert at the airport changes everything.

A matrimonial dispute that started years ago can sometimes have consequences beyond the FIR itself.

A Delhi High Court case shows why an LOC — Look-Out Circular should not be treated as a small procedural issue.

In Gurjit Singh Teja & Ors. v. State Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Anr., CRL.M.C. 5762/2025, decided on 21 August 2025, the underlying matrimonial FIR was extremely old.

FIR No. 624/2009 had been registered at PS Saraswati Vihar under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC after a matrimonial dispute. The husband and his parents were petitioners before the Delhi High Court. A Look-Out Circular dated 14 January 2011 had also been issued against the husband.

Think about the practical problem.

A matrimonial complaint may begin as a family dispute. But if an LOC is separately operating, the consequences can reach the immigration system and international travel.

Years later, the parties entered into a settlement through the Delhi Mediation Centre, Rohini Courts. They also obtained a mutual-consent divorce. The settlement amount was ₹18 lakh, of which ₹8 lakh had already been paid and the remaining ₹10 lakh was paid through a Demand Draft in the name of their daughter.

The wife informed the High Court that she did not wish to pursue the criminal proceedings and had no objection to quashing.

The Delhi High Court exercised its jurisdiction under Section 528 BNSS and quashed FIR No. 624/2009 and the consequential proceedings. Importantly, the Court also directed the State to take steps for withdrawal of the LOC issued against the husband because the FIR itself had been quashed.

यहाँ एक practical point बहुत important है:

FIR खत्म होना और LOC का practical status check करना — दोनों को casually अलग-अलग मत समझिए.

If you are a husband or an NRI family member facing an old matrimonial FIR, 498A/406 allegations, CAW Cell proceedings or Delhi NCR family litigation, international travel can create an additional layer of difficulty.

And this is exactly why merely saying, “Case बहुत पुराना है, अब क्या होगा?” can be risky.

You need to know what is actually pending:

FIR? Chargesheet? Trial? Warrant? LOC? Passport issue? Immigration alert?

इनमें से कौन-सी चीज़ अभी active है, यह record देखकर पता चलता है — assumptions से नहीं.

The Delhi High Court case also demonstrates another important procedural point: when the criminal proceedings themselves are brought to an end, any consequential action connected with those proceedings may also need to be addressed. In this particular case, the State was specifically directed to take steps regarding withdrawal of the LOC.

For someone dealing with CAW CELL DELHI, CAW Cell Nanakpura, Crime (Women) Cell, matrimonial complaint or matrimonial FIR, this can be a very different kind of problem from the one you initially expected.

आप सोच रहे हों कि मामला सिर्फ police station या Family Court तक है — लेकिन अगर international travel, employment abroad या overseas residence involved है, तो LOC status को भी properly examine करना पड़ सकता है.

Case-specific caution: Gurjit Singh Teja was decided on its own facts, including the settlement, mutual-consent divorce, quashing of the specific FIR and the consequential LOC. It does not mean that every matrimonial FIR or every LOC will automatically be withdrawn, quashed or dealt with in the same manner. The status and appropriate remedy must be examined from the actual case record.
