US Court To Decide On 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks Accused's Extradition In 30 Days

In the 2008 Mumbai attack, perpetrated by the LeT members, 166 people, including six Americans, were killed.
A US court has dismissed a status conference motion moved by imprisoned businessman Tahawwur Rana sought for his involvement in the deadly 2008 Mumbai terror attack, stating that it anticipates a ruling on the Pakistani-origin Canadian's extradition to India within 30 days.
Judge Jacqueline Chooljian of the US District Court in the Central District of Los Angeles, California held the last hearing on this issue in June 2021 and the last set of papers was filed in July 2021. The court is yet to give a verdict on the US government's request to extradite Rana to India.
In a motion moved through his lawyer last month Rana, 62, asked for a status conference - a court-ordered meeting between the prosecution and defence to discuss the case details and a plea bargain.
"The last pleading in the case was filed on July 21, 2021. Given the passage of time and Rana's continued incarceration, it appears appropriate for the Court and counsel to discuss the current status of the matter," his lawyer said.
