Punneet Puneet extradition status

[ColinOldnCranky]

Did you see the attempted victim blaming in the article?

Resident Sophie Gohl said she had seen Ms Lagos at the stop before, and she was wearing a black Alfred Aged Care shirt on Tuesday.

What colour clothing the victim was wearing has no relavance.

Maybe it's victim blaming. But then maybe as much you are drawing a long bow in that conclusion. Media have been unnecessarily reporting on what women are wearing since, well, forever.

When TF is this matter going to be progressed?

Gone very quiet
Nonstop recent thing I can find is
Puneet Puneet extradition adjourned again(Dinesh Malhotra, Bharat Times, about 6mo ago )

Quite right. I am regularly checking but I have not found any recent reference.

I just heard on the radio that P-P has been granted bail in India pending his defence against being extradited to Aus. Is this ever going to end? How could he get bail given the history??

[mikesbytes]

Hiding behind the Indian legal system seems to be quite effective

[Bunged Knee]

What a malingering person he is?

He will be back to court on 17th October.

Or not. If he flees, I would expect he is blowing his last chance of putting extradition to rest. He has effectively destroyed his life already.

The Indian courts probably have very little patience left for him. If he'd stayed in Australia, he probably would have served his term and walked out of jail by now.

"....Before being granted bail in the High Court of Delhi, he had to pay a surety of 20,000 rupees...."

reckon that is just over $350 (AU) possibly considered a largish amount in a country with many with low incomes but for a family that could afford for Punneet Puneet to be a student in Australia and fight thru the courts I doubt if means anything much...as to surrendering passport that wasn't an obstacle to leaving Australia

20000 rupees is absolute peanuts unless one is in the lowest tier of labour (given that the family has already hired more than one lawyer, it's safe to assume they are something approaching middle class at least). Even a bribe for evading consequences for petty street crime, such as stealing a mobile phone, could be something like 10 000 rupees.

Given the stakes, 20 000 rupees still equates to "nothing to lose by doing another runner." As such, I would be more surprised if he does turn up for his court hearing. Fully expecting from his parents yet another gormless expression of ignorance as to Puneet's whereabouts come Oct 17.

Tbh I suspect the journalists might have mistakenly dropped a zero ftom the surety bail .... but even then, 200 000 rupees is still fair game for doing a runner imho.

A father whose son was killed by Puneet Puneet says he is disappointed the hit-run driver was released on bail in India this month and that justice hasn’t been delivered sooner.

We'd like to think that the amount is large in the Indian context. However on a previous runner he sold his car for $8000. Back in 2015 his family had to post bail of $4,000. I'm afraid this latest bail is a token, even in India.

Or not, regardless of whether or not he is staying put. Scheduled dates in the past have been nowhere near the actual dates. Apparently a product of a seriously overtaxed judicial system.

[ColinOldnCranky]

Last that I read, Puneet is due in court on 17th this month (17Oct2022).

These dates seem to habitually be delayed. Does anyone have any further info on his next court date or any other information at all?

Edit 19Oct
Still seeing nothing in news reports

[Cyclophiliac]

Interesting, I wonder if this other case will turn into a similar drawn-out affair?

Does anyone know the case number?
The Delhi High Court court lists are available on line
(Edit- Google-fu strong today in this one is)

Nothing I can find Thoglette. It's looking a little like the worm may get to stay at home with Mummy.

Nothing I can find Thoglette.

7 Feb is the next court appearance, according to the details above.

I couldn’t find any explanation why it was adjourned from Oct to Feb.

I presume someone lost their pencil or forgot they’d promised to pick up the dry cleaning or something

[ColinOldnCranky]

I think there seldom is. I've understood that India has a horribly overloaded system but they can be persistent. I hope they will continue their persistence they have so far shown to date in the case of Puneet.

14 years since the incident occurred. If he hadn't fled justice, he would have been out of jail years ago.

I too was thinking about the duration. We need the PM to talk to their PM about it

I forgot to include a link to the Delhi Highcourt

The case itself is listed below, very dry reading

Well, the 7th has come and gone. And the Delhi High Court web page remains stubbornly unresponsive. Is it just me that can't access it?

Our friend is now in trouble for allegedly bashing his wife. The article is behind a paywall, but here is the header:

Killer hit-run driver Puneet Puneet is now facing charges he is a wife basher, a legal twist which puts his return further in doubt.

Took the doggo to vet this morning and they had print copy Herald Sun....doesn't seem to be covered elsewhere...

..."But late last week , it was ruled he would not be extradited until a decision was made on domestic violence charges against him.......A legal expert told the Herald Sun domestic violence cases in India typically last 4-6 years if an out of court settlement can't be reached....the allegations were made in March last year.....'Puneet won't be deported to a foreign country until a decision on his domestic violence case will be taken' Judge Jasmeet Singh said....Puneet remains on bail"
