No Supreme Court relief for French national
She was provisionally arrested on February 24, 2015 by an order passed by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the plea of a French national Verhoeven, Marie-Emmanuelle, accused of killing Chilean senator in 1991, seeking her release from detention in India.
A Bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and N.V. Ramana dismissed a habeas corpus petition and a special leave petition filed by Ms. Verhoeven challenging her detention from February 17, 2015 on the basis of a red corner notice issued by Interpol on the request of the Republic of Chile for her detention for the alleged offence committed in Chile.
Subsequently, she was provisionally arrested on February 24, 2015 by an order passed by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate. The Delhi High Court quashed the order passed by the ACMM and directed her release. But the government passed a fresh order and continued her detention and this is challenged in the fresh petition.
