Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Court Judge Sean H Lane issued the order on Friday (15), serving a major blow to Modi and his associates. Modi, who is presently lodged in a jail in the UK, is challenging India's efforts to extradite him to face charges of fraud and money-laundering the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case worth more than Rs 13,000 crore. "SDNY Bankruptcy Court Judge Lane in a clear decision denied defendants Modi, Bansali and Gandhi's motions to dismiss US Trustee Richard Levin's amended complaint in the adversary proceeding arising out of Modi's initial chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, alleging fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, RICO and related state law claims," Indian American attorney Ravi Batra told Press trust of India.
