Lalit Modi extradition a dicey issue

The Hindu  

The Union government is likely to still face an interminable wait in its pursuit of former cricket czar Lalit Modi despite the Enforcement Directorate finally obtaining a non-bailable warrant for his arrest from a Mumbai court on Wednesday. Though the warrant was issued on the grounds that Mr. Modi was not responding to the ED’s summons in an alleged case of money laundering, it is learnt a number of procedural hurdles may come in the way of his extradition from the U.K. For the ED, pursuing the NBW means a change in procedure. In the usual course, for several other cases pending against Mr. Modi, the ED had to go through the Union Home Ministry to serve summons on him through the U.K. authorities. Even under the UPA, in fact, the Ministry never opted to pursue an extradition, though Mr. Modi failed to heed at least three ED summons. 2,200 crore, is the ED’s best chance of getting Mr. Modi since, according to officials, money laundering is a criminal offence in both India and the U.K.
