British authorities have ordered the extradition of one of the main Naval war room leak accused Ravi Shankaran to India to face trial . UK Home Secretary Theresa May has issued orders for his extradition to India . CBI sources said in New Delhi that the British authorities have given Shankaran 14 days time to file an appeal in the case. The order came exactly two months after a British court rejected the appeal by Shankaran against his extradition. The CBI, while pressing for his extradition, had assured the Westminster Magistrates Court in Britain that his bail will not be opposed once he is brought back to face trial.
The CBI plans to send a team to the UK to bring him back once all legal formalities of that country are completed.
Shankaran is one of the key accused in the case of leaking classified information from the War Room to arms dealers. He has been absconding since the case was registered by the CBI in March 2006.
