I have made a search for this thread re "Punnet"but just can't find it.
I want to add this to it so maybe a kindly moderator might be able to help. Or even a grumpy over worked one....
Kind of nice to keep all this stuff in the one file.
The poor lad is without his mask but coughing badly for the magistrate.

FATAL hit-run driver Puneet Puneet has vowed to fight extradition to Australia “till death” in a court appearance in India yesterday.
Puneet was driving a car that crashed, killing one man and badly injuring another in Melbourne in 2008.
Police allege the 26-year-old was drunk and driving at 148mh/h when he hit and killed 19-year-old Queensland student Dean Hofstee, and seriously injured 20-year-old Clancy Coker in Southbank.
Puneet fled Australia while on bail awaiting sentencing and went into hiding in India.
Puneet’s counsel, Kumar Singal, has asked for a copy of court documents including the complete case history and the detailed investigation done by Indian Ministry of External Affairs officials. The court adjourned Puneet’s next hearing until December 8.
Puneet said he had full faith in the Indian judiciary and that he will fight against the extradition till death.
“I am innocent, I am being framed, the Australian authorities are trying to extradite me based on my confession before Australian police,” he said.
Puneet said he pleaded guilty to the charges at the time due to stress and shock.
“I am not well, still in same condition, need rest,” he said.
His father, Naresh Kumar Singh, claimed his son had a “life-threatening disease”.
“My son is undergoing tremendous trauma from the last 2½ years,” he said. ‘There is no question of sending him to Australia, I am optimistic the court ruling will be in our favour.”
Puneet appeared in court coughing continuously, but was not wearing a mask as he had previously.
