The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the petition by gangster Abu Salem, who claimed his extradition was not legl and liable to be cancelled because of breach of terms by Indian authorities. A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde asked Salem to approach the Bombay High Court with his petition.

"We dismiss the plea under Article 32 with the liberty to approach High Court," the Bench said. The plea also sought a direction to transfer Salem from Taloja jail to Tihar jail so that amicus curiae can speak to him and procure some documents.

Abu Salem disputed that the Indian authorities had violated the extradition treaty. Salem, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, had been extradited from Portugal on November 11, 2005, after a prolonged legal battle.

The gangster is serving a life sentence in jail after being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts that had killed 257 and injured 713 people. He has also been sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment in 2002 extortion case by Delhi Court.
