Supreme Court Reserves Order on Abu Salem's Plea for Premature Release
The Supreme Court has reserved its order on gangster Abu Salem's plea seeking premature release, arguing he has completed the 25-year imprisonment limit under India's extradition terms with Portugal. Salem's counsel contends that his undertrial custody, post-conviction imprisonment, and earned remission should count toward this limit. The Bombay High Court previously dismissed his plea as premature. The Supreme Court has allowed written submissions and is considering whether remission and custody periods qualify under the extradition agreement.
