What is Mutual Legal Assistance?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Mutual Legal Assistance is a mechanism whereby countries cooperate with one another<\/strong> in order to provide and obtain formal assistance in prevention, suppression, investigation and prosecution of crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

This ensures that the criminals do not escape or sabotage the due process of law for want of evidence available in different countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Home Affairs is the Central Authority of India<\/strong> for dealing with requests of mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. The Central Authority transmits and receives all requests for assistance either directly or through diplomatic channels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) in criminal matters are the bilateral treaties entered between the countries for providing international cooperation and assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Letters Rogatory (LR)?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The term <\/span>‘Letters Rogatory’ <\/span><\/i>is derived from the Latin term <\/span>rogatorius. <\/span><\/i>Letters Rogatory are the letters of request sent by the Court of one country to the Court of another country for obtaining assistance in investigation or prosecution of a criminal matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
