Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the roles of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the Extradition Act, 1962, particularly in relation to a warrant issued by a foreign court. The Court held that the CBI must act in accordance with the provisions of the Extradition Act while executing warrants, emphasizing the need for adherence to legal protocols in extradition matters. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application was ultimately rejected, affirming the legality of the extradition process.
