The UK Westminster Magistrates Court in London, on Thursday, in its 83-page order struck down Nirav Modi s defence that he won t be given a fair trial in India. The court also junked another contention by Modi s defence team on his mental health worsening due to pandemic and potential human rights violation in India. There is no evidence that if extradited Nirav Modi will not get justice, said UK court, striking down Modi s defence that the latter will not get a fair trial.

The government will liaise with the UK authorities for early extradition of Nirav Modi, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday, hours after a British court rejected the fugitive businessman s plea against being extradited to India. The diamantaire, wanted in India on charges of fraud and money laundering in the estimated USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case, lost his legal battle against extradition on all grounds as District Judge Samuel Goozee also concluded that there are no human rights concerns that his medical needs would not be addressed as per several Indian government assurances. Replying to a query during an online media briefing, MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said that since the Westminster Magistrate s Court has recommended to the UK Home Secretary for Nirav Modi s extradition, the Government of India would liaise with the UK authorities for his early extradition to India.
