The observations were made by the court while delivering the verdict on the extradition of fugitive businessman, Nirav Modi. The UK court also set aside arguments that the Indian judiciary was compromised. The Westminster Magistrate s court which ordered the extradition of Nirav Modi to India rejected the expert testimony given by Katju in the case. He had alleged that the Indian judiciary was compromised and that Nirav Modi will not get a fair trial in India. ....
