A Malaysian court on Wednesday deferred the judicial proceedings of the case of extradition of Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi to India to stand trial in the Bofors pay-off case until March 25.
Justice Abdul Aziz gave March 25, 26 and April 1, 19 and 25 as the new dates for the continuation of the judicial review proceedings.
India has sought Quattrocchi's extradition in the Bofor pay-off case. Quattrocchi has challenged India's appeal in the High Court arguing that he should not be extradited as there is no criminal case against him in India and the move is politically motivated.
He has appealed for the judicial review of the case. Bureau Report
