• LOC removed or not?

I was stopped at Mumbai airport on my return to India stating that LOC Was issued to me by SP Office and was later allowed to enter india.

I later went to court and got a bail by giving two person as surety 

My question is has the Loc been cancelled?
Since i read an article that once we are detained in airport the LOC Automatically closes 

Can I travel to work with the bail I received?
Or can you suggest me the best possible solution since I have to leave to work in a week

It is not an automatic removal of LOC, you may have to file an application before the trial court or high court to remove the LOC pending against your name.

Further since you have been enlarged on bail you cannot leave the country without the permission of court or else the court may cancel the bail and sometimes the surety may be held for this which is termed as jumping bail.

Dear client, the police cannot continue a Look Out Circular (LOC) without going back to the court after bail is granted. After granting the bail the court will impose upon certain conditions on the person. If the court limits you to travel in the bail conditions then you have to take permission from it to travel.

- LOC cannot cancelled automatically upon getting bail. 

- - Since, the court has granted  bail , then you can move an application before the same court for cancelling the LOC issued against you

Inform the issuing office about taking of bail. If there is no restriction on travelling abroad by the court while granting you bail then you can apply for removal of your name from LOC.

If it is not done then file writ petition in high court.
