Overview

• The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed Nirav Modi has lodged an application to reopen his extradition appeal and that Indian authorities have filed their response.
• A UK court has agreed to consider new evidence in the extradition matter, a move described as unusual given the high bar for such applications.
• Modi told the court there would be “sensational developments” when the case reopens next month and said he is extremely hopeful of discharge or bail, reflecting his position rather than a court finding.
• In a separate civil dispute, Judge Simon Tinkler refused Modi’s request to stay Bank of India’s claim over an unpaid guarantee and set a seven‑day trial for January 2026.
• The judge noted medical issues affecting Modi’s participation and directed reasonable adjustments, including prison‑provided computer access, as he remains detained in the UK since 2019 over the alleged PNB fraud.
