The authorities will review your application and may conduct their own
investigation to determine whether a Look Out Circular is necessary. If
they determine that a Look Out Circular is necessary, they will issue one
against the person in question.
The Indian authorities issued a Look Out Circular against Nirav Modi to
prevent him from leaving the UK and to facilitate his extradition to
India. The UK authorities arrested Nirav Modi in March 2019, and he is
currently fighting extradition to India.
It is important to note that Look Out Circulars are not generally issued
in child custody cases and are only used in exceptional cases where
there is a genuine threat to the life or safety of a person.
