Mumbai: A sessions court that ordered the cancellation of an open-dated arrest warrant against Kumar Pillai, cited international treaty obligations and the “Doctrine of Specialty” under the Extradition Act. In a detailed order made available on Tuesday, the judge noted that Pillai, an individual of Indian origin holding Hong Kong citizenship, was acquitted in all three criminal cases for which he was originally extradited from Singapore to India in 2016. The prosecution contended an open-dated warrant was necessary to seek fresh permission from the Singapore govt to try Pillai for the remaining cases, including allegations of murder and attempted murder.

However, the judge rejected the prosecution’s submissions, noting the legal framework provides strict protections for fugitive criminals brought into the country under specific decrees. Referring to established precedents by the Supreme Court of India, the judge observed, “The provision of the… section places restrictions on the trial of the person extradited and it operates as a bar to the trial of the fugitive criminal for any other offence until the condition of restoration or opportunity to return is satisfied.” The court clarified without the explicit consent of the foreign state that granted the extradition, Indian courts lack the authority to proceed.While the warrant was cancelled on Monday, the detailed order was made available on Tuesday. The judge noted that that the Doctrine of Specialty is a cornerstone of international law, ensuring that a requesting state honours the terms under which a prisoner is handed over. The court noted that while the prosecution had been aware of the pending cases since 2016, no successful efforts were made to obtain consent from Singapore or Hong Kong to expand the scope of the trial. “A fugitive brought into this country under an Extradition Decree can be tried only for the offences mentioned in the Extradition Decree and for no other offence and the Criminal Courts of this country will have no jurisdiction to try such fugitive for any other offence,” the judge said. The court also took note of a recent order by a special MCOCA court which directed the police commissioner to take necessary steps to repatriate Pillai to Hong Kong. Finding that the continued issuance of an arrest warrant would frustrate both the law and international treaties, the judge said, “The Extradition Treaty and Extradition Decree needs to be honoured. Therefore, considering legal aspects and the Extradition Decree and facts and circumstances of the case, it is necessary to cancel the open dated arrest warrant.” While the warrant was cancelled, the court allowed the prosecution the liberty to follow the proper legal channels as prescribed under the Extradition Act for any future proceedings.

LUCKNOW: A 19-year-old youth shot his father, a pathology lab owner, dismembered the body and hid parts in a blue drum at their residence in Aashiana, police said on Monday.

With India’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign hanging in the balance, former head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested a bold tactical rethink for the upcoming Super 8 encounter against Zimbabwe. After the heavy defeat to South Africa, Shastri believes India must strengthen their bowling resources — even if it means sacrificing a specialist batter like Rinku Singh.

India are in a must-win situation, and according to Shastri, flexibility and depth in bowling could make the difference between survival and elimination.

Ravi Shastri backs two-spinner strategy for Zimbabwe clash

Speaking to the ICC, Shastri emphasized the importance of having an additional bowling option in T20 cricket, particularly in high-pressure matches.

“I would say play both. Give yourself that extra option because on a given day, you’re bound to have one bowler who’s going to have an off-day,” Shastri explained.

His remarks were in reference to India’s spin department, particularly after Varun Chakaravarthy struggled to make an impact against South Africa. The mystery spinner was not at his best and ended up conceding crucial runs — something Shastri believes could have been mitigated with stronger bowling cover.

In modern T20 cricket, where margins are razor-thin, one bowler having an off day can tilt the entire contest. Shastri’s solution is simple: build insurance into the playing XI.

Shastri hints at Rinku Singh’s exclusion

However, adding an extra bowler comes at a cost. Shastri hinted that Rinku might have to sit out if India choose to strengthen their bowling attack.

“Which means Rinku Singh might have to miss out. But if he has to come in, he has to come in place of a specialist batter,” Shastri stated.

India’s middle order already boasts significant firepower with Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Washington Sundar likely occupying the No. 5, 6, and 7 slots. With Axar Patel also capable of batting higher up the order, Shastri believes India already possess enough depth in their batting lineup.

“If Axar Patel is playing, he might be batting at 8. You’ve got Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Washington Sundar at 5, 6, and 7. And Axar can go at 5 as well. Now, if eight batters can’t do the job in T20 cricket, then you know something is wrong,” he added.

His message was clear — India’s issue is not lack of batting power, but insufficient bowling options.

India’s defeat to South Africa exposed cracks in both bowling execution and tactical balance. With a poor Net Run Rate and zero points in the Super 8 stage, the margin for error is virtually non-existent. Zimbabwe could play fearless cricket without scoreboard pressure. That unpredictability makes tactical preparation even more crucial.
