Abstract
Offenders in India may now more easily flee to other countries and evade punishment due to the advent of globalisation and growing interconnection. Fugitive detainees should be extradited and brought before Indian courts, which becomes a cumbersome process. On top of that, it acts as an effective deterrent to those who would otherwise flee. There is a dismal one-in-three chance that a wanted fugitive would be returned to India, despite India’s efforts to extradite them. With the help of extradition accords with other nations, India has brought back certain prisoners, but there have also been setbacks. There are certain legal and non-legal hurdles involved in the process of extradition. This paper has examined these issues to suggest methods to enhance India’s extradition procedure. The paper analyses fugitive economic offenders and laws against them, along with a comparative study of such laws in countries like India, Canada, Australia, the U.K. and the U.S.A. The study has followed doctrinal research with analysis of both primary and secondary data wherein the research scholar has concluded that India needs to have a structured and strengthened legal framework for fugitive offenders just like the developed countries U.S., UK, Canada and Australia.
