Step 1: An authorisation letter will be issued to the law minister tasking him to write the letter.
Step 2: The draft of the letter will be cleared by the Supreme Court after a review.
Step 3: The mode of sending the letter will be decided – either by a special messenger or by courier.
Step 4: A receipt will be submitted to the Supreme Court confirming that the letter has been sent to the Swiss authorities in Geneva.
