Overriding the Biden administration's appeal, a US court has ordered a stay on the extradition of Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana, to India where he is facing a trial for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Rana, 62, has appealed before the Ninth Circuit Court against the order by a US District Court in the Central District of California that denied the writ of habeas corpus. District Judge Dale S.

In doing so the judge overrode the government's recommendations that there should be no stay on Rana's extradition. Rana faces charges for his role in the Mumbai attacks and is known to be associated w
