UK court rules against Nirav Modi moving Supreme Court
Nirav Modi set to be extradited to India

Modi, meanwhile, remains behind bars in London since his arrest in March 2019.&nbsp;

Nirav Modi, the fugitive diamond merchant wanted in India to stand trial on fraud and money laundering charges, on Thursday suffered another setback in his legal battle against his extradition as the High Court in London denied him permission to appeal against his extradition order in the UK Supreme Court.
In a judgment order pronounced at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, Lord Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith and Justice Robert Jay ruled that "the Appellant's (Nirav Modi) application for permission to appeal to the Supreme Court is refused".
Last month, the 51-year-old diamantaire had lost an appeal on mental health grounds when the same two-judge High Court bench ruled that his risk of suicide is not such that it would be either unjust or oppressive to extradite him to India to face charges in the estimated USD 2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) loan scam case.
Modi, meanwhile, remains behind bars at Wandsworth Prison in London since his arrest on an extradition warrant in March 2019.&nbsp;

Recently, a two-judge High Court bench ruled against Nirav Modi in the extradition case after he claimed risk of suicide.

Nirav Modi's latest attempt to stop extradition: seeks permission to file appeal in UK Supreme Court

Recently, a two-judge High Court bench ruled against Nirav Modi in the extradition case after he claimed risk of suicide.

Nirav Modi appears to be pulling out all stops to prevent his extradition from UK to India for fraud and money laundering cases.
Now, the fugitive diamond merchant has filed an application in the High Court in London for permission to appeal against his extradition order by approaching the Supreme Court.
Recently, a two-judge High Court bench ruled against Nirav Modi after he claimed risk of suicide. The court had said that the risk was not such that it would be either unjust or oppressive to extradite him to India.

Subsequently, Nirav had two weeks to file an appeal on the grounds of a point of law of general public importance. Experts say this is rarely held up by courts.
However, his extradition is still uncertain as Nirav has other options available, including approaching the European Court of Human Rights.
The diamantaire is currently lodged at the Wandsworth Prison in London.

The Enforcement Directorate Friday said it has attached gems, jewellery and bank deposits worth ₹253.62 crore of companies linked to fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi as part of a money laundering probe.

After fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi was traced and captured in Dominica, the island nation is suddenly all over the headlines. Is it the same as the Dominican Republic? Where is Dominica located? Google searches for Dominica are surging, so we'll give you a quick Geography lesson. 
Dominica, an island country, is located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is a part of the Windward Islands chain in the Lesser Antilles group of islands. The Lesser Antilles, together with the Greater Antilles and the Lucayan Archipelago, make up the West Indies. Dominica lies between the French islands of Guadeloupe and Marie-Galante to the north and Martinique to the south.
Dominica and the Dominican Republic sound confusingly alike. And although both are located in the Caribbean Sea, they&rsquo;re not the same. The Dominican Republic, also a country of the West Indies, occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, the second biggest island in the Greater Antilles chain. The national capital is Santo Domingo.
Antigua and Barbuda, Choksi&rsquo;s home for the last couple of years, is also an island nation in the West Indies. It lies in the Caribbean Sea and consists of two major islands Antigua and Barbuda - and other smaller ones.
Wanted in the Rs 13,500-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case, Choksi allegedly entered Dominica &lsquo;illegally&rsquo; and has now been detained. He had been staying in Antigua and Barbuda since January 2018 and recently disappeared from there. Choksi is facing two cases in Antigua and Barbuda, one on his extradition to India and the other on the revocation of his citizenship.

A London court hearing fugitive Nirav Modi's bail plea will pronounce its verdict today. During the course of arguments, Nirav Modi's lawyer assured the court that Nirav should be granted bail as unlike Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, he will not be granted asylum by any country. "He is just an ordinary Indian jeweller", he said. Also that as Nirav's daughter and son are moving to London, he has no plans to leave the country.
