Justic Markandey Katju had given evidence to support Nirav Modi s claim that he would not get a fair trial in India
NEW DELHI: An UK district judge flung away the expert evidence given by retired Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju on behalf of diamantaire Nirav Modi to stop his extradition to India in the PNB fraud case. He termed Katju s claims of corruption and lack of credence in Indian judiciary and judges too tall to be believed.
Both justice Katju and retired Bombay HC judge AM Thipsay had given evidence to support Nirav Modi s claim that he would not get a fair trial in India. On Justice Katju, the district judge said, I attach little weight to justice Katju s expert opinion. His evidence was in my assessment less than objective and reliable. On Thipsay, the UK Judge said, I attach no weight to his opinion.

The Court has recorded that the Crown Prosecution Service representing the Indian government challenged Justice Katju about statements he had made to the Indian media the day before giving his evidence in these extradition proceedings.
“He (Katju) agreed he made statements to the media despite the extradition proceedings being sub judice. He was challenged about the appropriateness of giving press briefings, and expressing his concerns as a high-profile figure in India was simply making matters worse and undermining the rule of law, a self-fulfilling prophecy”.
Finding no force in Katju’s claims, the UK Judge has recorded “Despite having been a former Supreme Court judge in India until his retirement in 2011 his evidence was in my assessment less than objective and reliable. His evidence in Court appeared tinged with resentment towards former senior judicial colleagues. It had hallmarks of an outspoken critic with his own personal agenda. I found his evidence and behaviour
