New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday deferred the hearing for 4 January 2024 of the Habeas Corpus petition filed on behalf of Nikhil Gupta, accused by the United States of plotting to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Pannun is an India designated Khalistani terrorist against his arrest and ongoing extradition proceedings in the Czech Republic.
Nikhil Gupta family moved the Supreme Court on Friday saying Gupta was illegally detained in the Czech Republic.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti observed that Gupta has to approach the court in the Czech Republic for relief.
As per the plea, Nikhil Gupta is currently detained in prison in the Czech Republic while awaiting extradition to the United States in connection with the case there for allegedly being involved in a foiled plot to murder Pannun. (Agencies)
