#Extradition Treaty

The Bombay High Court has ruled that sentences imposed under sovereign assurance - such as Abu Salem’s - are immune to reduction through earned remission, even after 25 years of combined undertrial and post-conviction custody. This sets a binding precedent that sovereign commitments in extradition cases override standard prison incentive systems, affecting future cases involving international cooperation and life sentences under TADA.

Delhi High Court ruled that extradition treaties allowing prosecution for 'offences connected' with the extradited offence grant implied consent under Section 21(c) of the Extradition Act, 1962. This enables addition of charges like Section 467 IPC even if not explicitly named in the extradition decree, expanding prosecutorial scope for fugitives.
