Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
(i) Where the party at whose instance the letters are issued is represented in the foreign country by an agent who can apply to the foreign Court, the letters may be given to such party for transmission to such agent but as it is difficult for Indian Courts to make certain that the practice of the foreign Court is to receive letters of request so produced before it, this procedure is not advised. (ii) In the case of Brazil, however, this method is understood to be obligatory. The party's agent at Rio de Janeiro presents the letters to the Ministry of Justice.
