The US Supreme Courtroom on Saturday cleared 2008 Mumbai terror assault convict Tahawwur Rana’s extradition to India, dismissing his assessment petition towards the transfer.
India has been in search of Rana’s extradition, a Canadian nationwide of Pakistani origin, as he’s needed in reference to the 2008 Mumbai assaults. This ruling marks Rana’s ultimate authorized alternative to keep away from extradition, following his defeat in a number of federal courts, together with the US Courtroom of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco.
On November 13, Rana filed a “petition for a writ of certiorari” with the US Supreme Courtroom, which was denied on January 21, the day after Donald Trump was sworn in as President.
“Petition DENIED,” the Supreme Courtroom stated.
Rana, 64 years age, is at present detained on the Metropolitan Detention Middle in Los Angeles.
