What is a Look-Out Circular, and who can issue and when can it be
issued? Does LOC lead to arrest? Whether anticipatory bail can be
granted by Competent Court even if LOC was issued?
That LOCs can be of different types. As per the proforma for the issue
of LOC, it has various options from just informing the government that
the person against whom the LOC has been issued is leaving the
country, to seizing their travel documents and sending it to the agency,
to preventing the person from entering the country, informing
investigating agencies. The highest level of LOC involves handing over
the person to the local police which generally leads to an arrest.
