Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, Abu Salem Abdul Qayoom Ansari, cannot be tried for offences not included in the extradition decree under the Extradition Act, 1962, specifically citing Section 21. The Court held that the principle of specialty applies, meaning he can only face charges for crimes for which he was extradited. The appeals and writ petition were dismissed, affirming the jurisdiction of Indian courts to try the appellant for the charges specified in the extradition order.
