Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) role under the Extradition Act, 1962, in relation to a warrant issued by a U.S. court against the appellant. The Court held that the CBI must act in accordance with the provisions of the Extradition Act, and that the legality of the arrest warrant must be examined in light of international obligations and domestic law. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the warrant's validity.
