Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 21 of the Extradition Act, 1962, an accused extradited to India can only be tried for the specific offences listed in the extradition decree, and not for any additional charges. The Court emphasized that this limitation is crucial to uphold the rights of individuals against being tried for unlisted offences, which would violate international law and the principles of the Extradition Treaty. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that objections to jurisdiction must be raised before the Designated Court under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987.
