Nirav Modi loses appeal against extradition to India in UK High Court #IndiaNEWS
Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi on Tuesday lost his appeal against extradition to India in a United Kingdom High Court, reported PTI. He is accused of duping the Punjab National Bank of more than Rs 13,000 crore.In February, the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the UK had ordered that the fugitive diamond merchant can be extradited to India to face trial. On April 15, UK’s Home Minister Priti Patel approved Modi’s extradition to India. Modi was arrested on March 19, 2019, and has been lodged in London’s Wandsworth jail. Modi had approached the High Court to determine if there are any grounds for appeal against Patel’s decision or the Westminster Magistrates’ Court order. However, the UK High Court dismissed the appeal on paper.This leaves the fugitive businessman with the only option to make his case at a brief oral submission in the High Court to get a chance of a full hearing. Modi has only five business days to apply for the oral hearing, giving him time until next week. If the oral submission is rejected, he will have no legal remedies left in the UK. The fugitive businessman, however, can still approach the European Human Rights court, reported India Today.Also read:Part of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi’s assets transferred to state-run banks,...Read more
