The Pakistani team that visited India to probe the Pathankot attack was assured of full cooperation by India and promised letters Rogatory (lR) for collecting evidence related to the investigation, Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary told the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
letters Rogatory is a formal communication in writing sent from a court to a foreign court for some type of judicial assistance. The most common remedies sought by lR are service of process and taking of evidence.
Pakistan’s Joint Investigation Team (JIT) visited India between March 27 and March 31. A National Investigation Agency (NIA) court handed over the lR to a Pakistani court to facilitate the collection of evidence by the JIT.
