Article 17 India-UAE Extradition Treaty | 'Connected Offences' Permit Prosecution Beyond Extradition Decree: Delhi HC
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.
