US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed 26/11 accused Tahawwur Rana to file a motion challenging his extradition to India. Rana had previously appeared before the Ninth Circuit Court in August, which agreed to hear his request after it was denied by the District Court of California.
In August 2023, the US District Court in the Central District of California denied Rana’s motion against his extradition to India, where he is currently facing trial for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Following this denial, Rana approached the Ninth Circuit Court, which then agreed to hear his request one more time. As per the latest court order, Rana would appear before the court on November 9, 2023, and a final verdict will be provided on December 11, 2023.
While his writ for habeas corpus was denied, his motion to stay his extradition was approved so that Rana could appeal in the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
