For example, India&#8217;s forgery charges are based in part on conduct that was not charged in the United States: petitioner&#8217;s use of false information in an application to formally open a branch office of the Immigration Law Centre submitted to the Reserve Bank of India,&#8221; the US solicitor general said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is not clear that the jury&#8217;s verdict in this case &#8212; which involves conspiracy charges and was somewhat difficult to parse &#8212; means that he has been &#8216;convicted or acquitted&#8217; on all of the specific conduct that India has charged,&#8221; Prelogar said.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/us-govt-urges-sc-to-dismiss-26\/11-mumbai-attack-convict-ranas-petition-for-writ-of-certiorari\/articleshow\/116472807.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States government has urged the Supreme Court to dismiss &#8220;the petition for a writ of certiorari&#8221; filed by Mumbai-attack convict Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, against his extradition to India.
