Verhoeven, Marie-Emmanuelle vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court affirmed that there exists a binding extradition treaty between India and Chile under Section 2(d) of the Extradition Act, 1962. It further held that even in the absence of such a treaty, a requisition for extradition based on reciprocity and international law principles is maintainable. The Court emphasized the importance of Article 21 of the Constitution, which protects the rights of all persons in India, including non-citizens, thus allowing the petitioner to challenge the extradition proceedings.
