The judge noted that the arguments made under both grounds overlap in this case as they both rely principally on the appellant, Nirav Modi's mental ill health.
A High Court judge in London has granted fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi permission to appeal against a magistrates바카라 court order in favour of extradition to India to face charges of fraud and money laundering before the Indian courts on mental health and human rights grounds.
바카라At this stage, the question for me is simply whether the appellant바카라s case on these grounds is reasonably arguable. In my judgment, it is. I will grant permission to appeal on Grounds 3 and 4,바카라 Justice Chamberlain바카라s ruling notes.
The judge noted that the arguments made under both grounds overlap in this case as they both rely principally on the appellant, Nirav Modi's mental ill health.
바카라I will not restrict the basis on which those grounds can be argued, though it seems to me that there should be a particular focus on whether the judge was wrong to reach the conclusion he did, given the evidence as to the severity of the appellant바카라s [Nirav Modi바카라s] depression, the high risk of suicide and the adequacy of any measures capable of preventing successful suicide attempts in Arthur Road prison,바카라 the ruling notes.
Justice Martin Chamberlain delivered his verdict remotely under Covid-19 rules to conclude that the arguments presented by the 50-year-old diamond merchant바카라s legal team concerning his 바카라severe depression바카라 and 바카라high risk of suicide바카라 were arguable at a substantial hearing.
He also noted that the adequacy of the measures capable of preventing 바카라successful suicide attempts바카라 at Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai, where Nirav Modi is to be detained upon extradition, also fall within the arguable ambit.
Grounds 3 and 4 relate to Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), or the right to life, liberty and security, and Section 91 of the UK바카라s Criminal Justice Act 2003 related to fitness to plead.
