💨 Abstract

The High Court in London granted Sanjay Bhandari's appeal against his extradition to India on human rights grounds, citing a real risk of extortion and violence in Tihar prison. The court ordered his release from the extradition order due to incompatible rights under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and inadequate assurances provided by the Indian government regarding his treatment. The other grounds for the appeal were dismissed.
