Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, particularly the petitioner’s cooperation with the investigation and the fact that LOCs issued against other persons holding senior managerial positions in the aforesaid companies, arising from the same investigation, have already been quashed, this Court finds no reason to continue the LOC against the petitioner. 11. Accordingly, the LOC issued against the petitioner at the instance of the SFIO is hereby quashed, subject to the following conditions: (i) The Petitioner shall co-operate with the ongoing and/or future investigations, if any, instituted at the behest of the concerned investigation agency. (ii) The Petitioner shall be entitled to travel abroad without any prior permission from this Court. The Petitioner shall, however, intimate the Investigation Officer, with its full itinerary either personally or through counsel, at least 7 days prior to his departure.

Since, the petitioners are, concededly, similarly placed as the petitioner in the aforementioned matter, which has been allowed and the LOC has been quashed, this Court finds no reason to not grant the similar relief. 7. In view of the above, the present petitions are allowed, on the same terms and conditions as imposed by this Court by order dated 03.08.2026 in W.P.(C) 10043/20206 which have been reproduced hereinabove. 8.
