In some relief to gangster Abu salem, Delhi High Court has allowed Delhi police to withdraw MCOCA and quashed trial court's order rejecting police plea to withdraw MCOCA as it is violating the norms of extradition treaty with Portugal. Salem is facing prosecution in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and other criminal cases. The Delhi Police had sought dropping of the charge in the backdrop of the Lisbon High Court terminating the extradition of the underworld for breach of the extradition conditions by India by booking him under MCOCA.
In its petition, the Delhi Police had contended that the charge against the underworld don was framed by a local court here despite argument by the investigating agency that it was against the terms and conditions of Salem's extradition to face trial in the Mumbai serial blasts case of 1993.
