Court allows extradition of NRI fugitive to US

By IANS,

New Delhi : The Delhi High Court Friday paved the way for non-resident Indian (NRI) fugitive Avtar Singh Grewal’s extradition to the US to face trial for allegedly killing his estranged wife in 2007.

The court dismissed his petition challenging a trial court’s decision to allow his extradition.

The division bench of Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice Manmohan Singh said: “We find no infirmity or illegality in the order passed by the ACMM (additional chief metropolitan magistrate).”

Grewal challenged a trial court’s inquiry report which held that there was prima facie sufficient evidence for his extradition to the US.
