Letters Rogatory are issued when court or investigators want help from judicial authorities in another country. "In the application before the court, we have stated that the court issue LR to UK for execution of non-bailable warrant issued against (Lalit) Modi and his consequent transfer to India for joining the investigation," an ED official said. The ED application seeks that competent authorities in the UK take steps necessary for locating and identifying Modi. Special ED counsel Hiten Venegoankar is likely to begin his arguments before the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Thursday. So far, three LRs have been issued against Modi by the same court to authorities in Singapore, Mauritius and UAE.
