The high court in London has reserved judgment in the Nirav Modi extradition case after the 3-day-long arguments concluded. According to Malcolm, there was a possibility that Modi’s situation could improve upon his extradition once he would realise that his “fears of being killed are not true, or that he won’t be in solitary confinement, or that he will have continue to have contact with his family.” Both, prosecution and defence agreed that depression can be treated. Prof Fazel, for prosecution, reached the conclusion that Modi suffers from mild depression and expressed uncertainty whether it can become severe in an Indian prison, while Prof Forrester appearing for Nirav Modi, believes that he suffers from moderate depression which could turn severe if he were to be extradited.
