India – UAE: principle of speciality and “connected offences” under the Extradition Treaty
Summary
The Delhi High Court held that Article 17 of the India–UAE Extradition Treaty allows the prosecution of an extradited person not only for the offences for which extradition was granted, but also for “offences connected therewith” arising from the same factual background. The Court rejected the petitioner’s argument that his prosecution for additional offences violated the principle of speciality and Section 21 of the Indian Extradition Act, finding that the requested State’s consent to prosecute connected offences is effectively incorporated into the treaty itself.
