德里高等法院审查印度-阿联酋条约在Michel的引渡案件中是否推翻国内法。
Delhi High Court to review if India-UAE treaty overrides domestic law in Michel’s extradition case.
德里高等法院就克里斯蒂安·米歇尔(Christian Michel)于2018年因阿古斯塔·韦斯特兰直升机诈骗案被引渡,向印度政府发出了通知,质疑印度-阿联酋引渡条约对1962年印度《引渡法》的至高无上地位。
The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the Indian government on a plea by Christian Michel, extradited in 2018 over the AgustaWestland chopper scam, challenging the India-UAE extradition treaty’s supremacy over India’s Extradition Act, 1962.
Michel的律师认为,该条约不能凌驾于国内法之上,声称新的指控违反了《特殊理论》和该法第21节,这两节将起诉限于特定罪行。
Michel’s lawyer argues the treaty cannot override domestic law, claiming new charges violate the Doctrine of Speciality and Section 21 of the Act, which limits prosecution to specified offences.
他声称,Michel已经对最初的指控服满了最高刑期,继续拘留是非法的,侵犯了宪法权利。
He asserts Michel has already served the maximum sentence for original charges and that continued detention is unlawful, violating constitutional rights.
法院已指示政府机构作出回应,并定于1月9日举行听讯。
The court has directed government agencies to respond and set a hearing for January 9.
