Delhi High Court allows Canada to recover ₹66 crore from Indian bank accounts of convict

In a case with international ramifications, the Delhi High Court has allowed the government of Canada to recover approximately Rs 66 crore from the Indian bank accounts of a convicted individual. The case likely involves a person who was convicted of a crime in Canada that resulted in a financial liability or a confiscation order. The Canadian government would have sought the assistance of the Indian authorities to enforce this order by attaching the convict's assets in India. The High Court's decision to allow the recovery is based on the principles of international cooperation in criminal matters, which are often governed by bilateral treaties. This ruling demonstrates the effectiveness of mutual legal assistance treaties in ensuring that criminals cannot use international borders to shield their assets from the consequences of their illegal actions.
