Delhi HC Upholds Right to Travel Abroad Amid ₹100 Crore Fraud Allegations

The Delhi High Court upheld Manpreet Singh Chadha's right to travel abroad while imposing specific conditions.

Chadha, owner of Wave Cinema, is involved in a ₹100 crore fraud case, which led to a Look Out Circular (LOC) restricting his travel. He filed a petition to challenge this LOC.

The court referenced Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty, and emphasized the need to balance individual rights with public interest.

On December 24, 2024, the court permitted Chadha to travel to Dubai under certain conditions to ensure compliance with ongoing investigations.
