He has been found guilty in case by a court of law, it says
The Delhi High Court on Friday said the habeas corpus plea by extradited gangster Abu Salem, serving life imprisonment for his role in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, was not made out, as as he was found guilty in the case by a court of law.
A Bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani stated that once a court of law held Salem guilty, he could not say that the custody was illegal. Referring to a Supreme Court judgement, the Bench observed, “even if initially your detention was bad in law, after your conviction by a court of law, your custody does not remain illegal”.
The High Court’s remarks came while hearing Salem’s plea seeking to declare his detention in India as illegal and that he be repatriated to Portugal in view of conventions governing the field and the treaty conditions.
