London High Court Rejects Nirav Modi's Plea to Delay Bank of India Loan Trial

• London High Court rejected Nirav Modi's plea to delay his trial in the Bank of India unpaid loan case.
• Modi cited severe vision loss, clinical depression, and prison constraints as reasons for the delay.
• Judge Simon Tinkler ruled that Modi faced no "substantial disadvantage" and the trial would proceed on March 23.
• The judge noted Modi's application was part of a "repeated pattern of delay, non-compliance, and general muddying of the case."
• Modi is fighting extradition to India in the $2 billion PNB fraud case and is housed in the prison's education wing.
