    Summary: Abhijeet Kumar Singh v. Union of India (CWJC 4392/2026) The Patna High Court quashed a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against petitioner Abhijeet Kumar Singh by Canara Bank, finding it was an "arm-twisting tactic" to recover loan debts without valid legal grounds. The petitioner, a director of a defaulted company but not charged in related CBI proceedings, had his passport cancelled, preventing international travel. The court held the LOC requisition unsustainable as no cognizable offense existed against him and existing remedies (DRT, SARFAESI) were adequate. However, conditions were imposed requiring the petitioner to cooperate with the bank, visit India annually, and facilitate settlement of outstanding liabilities.
