A prayer has also been made for quashing of the proceedings before the learned ACMM-I,Patiala House Courts, New Delhi, which have been pending before him pursuant to the said order dated 26.IL2008. We find that this is not the appropriate stage to entertain this writ petition inasmuch as the ACMM has to follow the procedure under the Extradition Act, 1962 and complete the inquiry as directed by the Central Government. However, we do note that the Central Government had passed UOI & ANR 3 Signing Date:02.09.2024 17:06:31 Certify that the digital and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing.

All this while, the petitiorfer has been in judicial custody.
