Assistant Director and others) and Crl.Ref.1/2006 (Court on its Own Motion Re: State v. Gurnek Singh, etc.), the High Court of Delhi held that recourse to LOC could be taken by an Investigating Agency in case of cognizable offences under the Indian Penal Code or other penal laws, where the accused was deliberately evading arrest or not appearing in the trial court despite non-bailable warrants (NBWs) and other coercive measures and there was a likelihood of the accused leaving the country to evade trial/arrest. The principles as laid down in the aforesaid judgment have been accepted and adopted by the Ministry of Home Affairs by the Office Memorandum referred to above.
