JUDGMENT / ORDER

Summary

Issue: Legality of Extradition Treaties
Rule: Extradition Treaty between the United States and Great Britain in 1931
Application: The Extradition Treaty did not mention offenses under Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code, and therefore, the prosecution and trial for such offenses were illegal and without jurisdiction.
Conclusion: The appellants contended that the extradition treaty was not applicable to their case, and therefore, the prosecution and trial were illegal.
71. For the aforesaid reasons, the appeal filed by Daya Singh deserves to be dismissed and is, accordingly, dismissed and the order of conviction and sentence recorded against him by the trial Court and confirmed by the High Court is upheld.
72. So far as accused Suman Sood is concerned, an order of conviction and sentence recorded by the trial Court and upheld by the High Court for offences punishable under Sections 365/120B, 343/120B and 346/120B, IPC is confirmed and upheld. Her conviction and order of sentence for offence punishable under Section 364A read with 120B, IPC passed by the High Court, however, is set aside and her acquittal for the said offence recorded by the trial Court is restored.
73. Appeals are accordingly disposed of.
