The applicant, facing extradition to the United States on charges of human smuggling, applied for release on bail.
The United States alleged the applicant led a scheme to smuggle Indian nationals into the US from Canada.
The court found that the applicant failed to justify his release on the primary ground, as he posed a significant flight risk given his tenuous immigration status in Canada, lack of assets, and the strong case against him.
The court also found detention was necessary on the tertiary ground to maintain confidence in the administration of justice.
The bail application was dismissed.
