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. The Court held that trying the accused for offences not included in the decree would violate both the Extradition Act and international law principles. Consequently, the Court quashed the FIR and charge sheet against the petitioner for offences outside the scope of the extradition order.
