FacebookFacebookTwitterTwitterEmailEmailWhatsAppWhatsAppLinkedInLinkedInShareShare

A Well Known Gangster Ravi Poojari, also known as Raviprakash, has approached the High Court of Karnataka seeking an early hearing of the cases for which he was extradited from Senegal more than three years ago. He claims that subjecting him to cases not mentioned in the extradition order violates the extradition order passed by the Senegal court, which allowed his extradition to India.

The court has ordered the issuance of notices to the Union government and other respondents and adjourned the hearing. It has also asked the Union government to respond to the question of whether the accused can be subjected to other criminal cases not mentioned in the Extradition Order.

Poojari’s petition argues that as per Section 21 of the Extradition Act, 1961, a person who has been extradited can be tried only in cases mentioned in the extradition order and not in other cases. He seeks to have the nine cases pending against him, which were mentioned in the extradition court order of Senegal, put on trial to avoid indefinite imprisonment.

Key parties involved:

  • Petitioner: Ravi Poojari (also known as Raviprakash)
  • Respondents: Union of India, and possibly other parties involved in prosecuting the cases against Ravi Poojari in various states.

Important legal points at issue:

  • Whether subjecting Ravi Poojari to cases not mentioned in the extradition order violates the extradition order passed by the Senegal court.
  • Whether Ravi Poojari can be tried in cases other than those mentioned in the extradition order as per Section 21 of the Extradition Act, 1961.
  • Whether the nine cases mentioned in the extradition court order of Senegal should be put on trial to prevent indefinite imprisonment.

Overall, this case involves significant legal questions concerning the scope of Ravi Poojari’s extradition and the extent to which he can be tried for various criminal cases in India.
