No decision was reached by the court on Uzair Baloch’s extradition to Pakistan on Sunday. The court has opted to take more time before deciding his future.
Following the hearing, Baloch was taken back to prison under high security.
Pakistani officials were optimistic that they will get custody of Uzair Jan Baloch following a local court decision that was expected today.
Uzair Baloch was presented before the court under security of UAE Special Forces. The defendant has secured one of UAE’s top lawyers to argue his case and has reportedly paid AED 500,000 in fees.
Sources add that two cases against the key figure of Lyari gang-war have already been disposed in the UAE to pave way for his extradition.
While a temporary passport required to bring Baloch back to Pakistan has not been issued, his expired Pakistani travel documents were presented before the court.
