Mumbai Court Cancels Warrant Against Kumar Pillai in 2007 Murder Case Over Extradition Limits

A Mumbai sessions court cancelled a warrant against Kumar Pillai in a 2007 Vikhroli murder case, ruling that under the Extradition Act, he cannot be tried for offences beyond those specified in his extradition from Singapore. Pillai, extradited in 2016 to face trial in three cases for which he was acquitted, remained in India without valid visa status. The court noted the prosecution's prior knowledge of the 2007 case but lack of timely action to prosecute him.
