Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Gurmohina Kaur, who presides over the Special Extradition Court of India, dismissed the bail application of 57-year-old Randall John Cafferty, arrested from Bengaluru airport on September 29 following the notice.
The court noted the submissions made by advocate N K Matta, appearing for the Ministry of External Affairs, that a formal extradition request from Indonesia against Cafferty, currently in judicial custody, has been received by the central government.
Cafferty was held on a request of Indonesia for his provisional arrest as he was wanted there to face trial. He is accused of committing various offenses in Indonesia, including practicing as a health worker without having an appropriate license and causing medical negligence which resulted in the death of the patient. Indian and Indonesia have an extradition treaty in place since 2011.
