U.K. High Court hears Nirav Modi plea against extradition to India

The Hindu  

A British court on June 28 opened the continuation appeal hearing in the extradition case of Nirav Modi, who is wanted in India on the charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to an estimated $2 billion in the Punjab National Bank loan scam case. Lord Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith and Justice Robert Jay presided over an initial hearing at the High Court in December last year to determine whether District Judge Sam Goozee’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court ruling from February 2021 in favour of extradition was incorrect to overlook the diamond merchant’s “high risk of suicide”. “He is at high risk of suicide already and his condition is likely to deteriorate further in Mumbai,” Edward Fitzgerald QC had argued on behalf of Mr. Nirav Modi during the December appeal hearing. The appeal against Judge Goozee’s ruling to send the case to U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel for extradition was granted leave to appeal in the High Court on two grounds — under Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights to hear arguments if it would “unjust or oppressive” to extradite Mr. Nirav Modi due to his mental state and Section 91 of the Extradition Act 2003, also related to mental ill health. Mr. Nirav Modi’s “high risk of suicide” and the “adequacy of any measures capable of preventing successful suicide attempts in Arthur Road prison” in Mumbai were deemed as the focal points for the appeal.
