Falguni Chandrakar

Profile description

You have been served a look‑out circular that restricts your movement, or you are entangled in a tax dispute that threatens your business assets. In such situations, you need a lawyer who can challenge unlawful circulars and protect your fiscal interests. Falguni Chandrakar offers specialized expertise in High Court Look‑Out Circular Writ Petitions and Tax Matters, appearing before both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India.

When a look‑out circular (LOC) is issued without sufficient justification, Chandrakar begins by examining the statutory authority and the specific reasons cited for the restriction. The lawyer looks for procedural lapses, lack of evidence, or overreach of the issuing agency. By filing a writ petition in the High Court, Chandrakar argues that the LOC violates fundamental rights, especially the right to personal liberty and freedom of movement. The petition is supported by recent judgments from the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court that underscore the need for proportionality and due process before imposing such restrictions.

If the High Court upholds the LOC, Chandrakar is prepared to take the matter to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer drafts a Special Leave Petition that highlights the constitutional violations and the adverse impact on the client’s livelihood. By presenting a concise legal narrative and citing authoritative precedents, Chandrakar seeks to secure a stay on the circular or its complete quashing, thereby restoring the client’s freedom of movement.

In the realm of tax matters, Chandrakar handles disputes ranging from assessment objections to complex matters involving corporate taxation and GST compliance. The lawyer conducts a detailed analysis of the tax authority’s assessment, identifies any misapplication of tax law, and prepares a robust petition that challenges the assessment on substantive and procedural grounds. Chandrakar’s approach often involves engaging tax experts to provide technical opinions and preparing comprehensive evidence packages that demonstrate the client’s compliance and financial position.

With over fifteen years of practice, Chandrakar combines a strong academic foundation—a master’s degree in law with a focus on taxation—from a leading university, with extensive courtroom experience. Early career work as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court allowed the lawyer to develop a nuanced understanding of procedural law and tax legislation. Over the years, Chandrakar has successfully challenged numerous LOCs, securing stays and cancellations that have saved clients from travel restrictions and reputational damage. In tax litigation, the lawyer has achieved favorable settlements, reduction of assessed liabilities, and, in several instances, complete set‑aside of erroneous tax orders.

Clients appreciate Chandrakar’s clear communication style. The lawyer explains complex tax statutes and procedural intricacies in plain language, outlines realistic timelines, and sets expectations for possible outcomes. By maintaining open dialogue, Chandrakar ensures that clients are informed at each stage of the dispute. The lawyer also collaborates with chartered accountants, forensic analysts, and industry specialists to build a comprehensive case strategy.

Choosing Falguni Chandrakar means partnering with a lawyer who possesses deep expertise in both look‑out circular writ petitions and tax litigation, and who is adept at navigating the procedural landscape of the Punjab and Haryana High Court as well as the Supreme Court of India. Whether you need to lift an unlawful LOC or contest a taxing authority’s assessment, Chandrakar can help you protect your liberty and financial interests, presenting a focused, strategic, and results‑oriented approach.
