Pendency Of Criminal Case Can't Disqualify Individual From Exercising Right To Long Term Opportunities Abroad: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court ruled that the mere pendency of a criminal case should not disqualify an individual from availing long-term opportunities abroad, particularly if the case has not resulted in a conviction. The court stated that such restrictions could adversely affect the individual's rights and professional prospects. It highlighted the need for a balanced approach between the rights of individuals and the requirements of ongoing legal proceedings. The court stressed that mere allegations should not be grounds for denying opportunities unless there is a direct legal consequence, such as a conviction.
