Government asked to reply to Nadeem’s application
(No Ratings Yet)The Bombay High Court today granted a week to the Maharashtra government to file a reply to music director Nadeem’s application for withdrawing a non-bailable arrest warrant and Red Corner Notice issued against him.
The warrant and the Red Corner Notice were issued against London-based Nadeem Akhtar Saifee, an absconding accused in the Gulshan Kumar murder case, in September 1997 after extradition proceedings were initiated by the Indian government in Britain.
A petition filed on Nadeem’s behalf by his Mumbai-based father Yunus Saifee said that though British courts had rejected the India’s extradition plea, the warrant and the Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol have hindered the music director’s movement as he cannot travel outside Britain where he has taken asylum since 1997.
The petition apprehended that if Nadeem travelled outside Britain, he could be arrested or detained.
