Court Cancels Warrant Against Kumar Pillai in 2007 Murder Case
•A Mumbai sessions court cancelled an open warrant against alleged gangster Kumar Pillai in a 2007 murder case.
•Pillai, a Hong Kong passport-holder, was extradited to India in 2016 after a 2012 Red Corner Notice.
•He was acquitted in three cases for which he was extradited, and his lawyer sought repatriation to Hong Kong.
•The crime branch sought a warrant in the 2007 murder case, which was initially granted by the sessions court.
•The MCOCA court ordered Pillai's repatriation, citing a Supreme Court ruling that he cannot be tried for other cases without the extraditing country's permission.
