A federal court has allowed Tahawwur Rana more time to file his motion against extradition to India where he is facing a trial for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

According to the latest court order, Rana's brief is now due on November 9 and the government's answer will be due on December 11, 2023. Earlier, on August 18, the court had granted Rana's motion for a stay of extradition so that his appeal could be heard by the US Court of Appeals.
