Supporting affidavits from employers, family members, or diplomatic officials are attached to strengthen the case. By presenting a clear factual matrix and legal precedent, Aravindan Minz has successfully persuaded the High Court to stay LOCs, allowing clients to board flights without fear of arrest.

The lawyer also assists clients in navigating post‑stay orders, ensuring that any subsequent court appearances are scheduled at convenient times and that the client’s personal and professional commitments are protected.
