New Delhi: A special Mumbai court is likely to give its order on underworld don Abu Salem's application to halt the trials against him in India on Tuesday. This comes after the Lisbon High Court had cancelled Salem's extradition plea in September for having breached extradition terms.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in its reply to the TADA court stated that prosecution against Salem can be stopped only if it is notified by the Supreme Court or by the Centre's order. The reason behind the CBI's reply is that only the Supreme Court or the Government of India has jurisdiction on an Indian court.
Meanwhile, India has already challenged the Lisbon High Court's order in the Supreme Court of Portugal.
Salem is a key accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.
