Big blow to Nirav Modi, UK High Court refuses to reopen extradition petition. india news

Big blow for Nirav Modi, UK High Court rejects the petition to reopen the extradition petition.

Nirav Modi’s plea to reopen proceedings against his extradition to India was rejected on Wednesday by the High Court of King’s Bench Division in London, which ruled that the application did not meet the threshold of “exceptional circumstances” required to revisit the case. The court held that the grounds presented, including reliance on the Bhandari decision, were insufficient to justify reopening the proceedings.The decision is a major blow to the fugitive diamond merchant, who is wanted in India in the Punjab National Bank fraud case. The Crown Prosecution Service strongly opposed the application during the hearing, which was supported by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team traveling to London, including the lead investigating officer.The high court said in its judgment that the circumstances cited in the petition were not sufficient to reconsider the earlier extradition order, effectively closing this legal avenue for Modi.

What was the matter?

Nirav Modi is fighting extradition to India over his alleged involvement in the Rs 13,000 crore Punjab National Bank fraud, one of the country’s biggest banking scams. He has previously used a number of legal remedies in UK courts, including appeals against extradition orders and applications citing concerns over prison conditions and mental health.The latest attempt to reopen the proceedings was based on the Bhandari judgment, which Modi’s legal team argued had a bearing on his case. However, UK courts have consistently ruled in favor of extradition, finding that the evidence against him establishes a prima facie case and his rights would not be violated if he were returned to India.More updates to follow

‘Khela Hobe’ online: TMC goes digital, BJP struggles with fish and culture

There was widespread speculation about his candidature in recent days after he publicly expressed his desire to contest the elections on a BJP ticket. That possibility has now been formalized, according to the BJP’s official list released on Wednesday.

The move follows his public call to enter politics

Earlier, Ratna Debnath had said that she wanted to contest elections to “get justice” for her daughter and fight for women’s safety in West Bengal.“A lot of time has passed since the brutal murder of my daughter. Despite long movements and struggle, we are yet to get justice. I have decided to contest elections on a BJP ticket to get justice for her,” he had said last week.Her husband had also indicated that he had had preliminary talks with BJP leaders on her possible candidature and said that he was ready to enter politics directly on the issue of justice.

This was followed by political and protest reaction

Ratna Debnath’s demand had drawn sharp reactions from some faces associated with the ‘Reclaim the Night’ protest movement that emerged after the RG tax case, with several activists and public figures calling the decision “unfortunate” and expressing concern over the political turn.Some protesting voices said they understood the family’s frustration over the delay in justice but questioned the decision to get involved in electoral politics. Others said the longer wait for accountability may have pushed the family toward a more direct political path.However, the official announcement from BJP on Wednesday confirms that the party has gone ahead with his candidature from Panihati.

BJP’s third list includes 19 names

According to the party release, apart from Ratna Debnath in Panihati, the BJP’s third list includes candidates from constituencies like Cooch Behar South, Raiganj (SC), Islampur, Hemtabad (SC), English Bazar, Shantipur, Howrah Central, Uttarpara, Singur, Chandannagar, Chunchura, Haripal, Tamluk, Medinipur, Purbasthali South, Katwa, Saithia (SC) and Nalhati.Given the emotional significance of the RG tax case and the broader debate surrounding women’s safety and justice in West Bengal, Ratna Debnath’s candidature is likely to attract significant political attention in the coming days.
