ପ୍ରିଲିମ୍ସ
- Extradition is the formal surrender of an accused or convicted person by one state to another, usually under a treaty or on reciprocity.
- India and Bangladesh have a bilateral Extradition Treaty signed in 2013.
- Treaties typically allow refusal of extradition where the offence is of a political character.
ମେନ୍ସ
GS2 International Relations (Neighbourhood). Hasina's presence in India and Dhaka's extradition request test the 2013 extradition treaty, its political-offence exception and India's Neighbourhood First policy. India must balance legal obligations, humanitarian and political considerations and the need for stable ties with Bangladesh's government; the way forward is quiet diplomacy, legal-channel engagement and continued cooperation on trade, connectivity and border management.

ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଖନ୍ତୁ
ଉତ୍ତର: A — Correct: 1 only — Right: each committee has 31 members, 21 from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha, while Ministers are not eligible, so only statement 1 is correct. • 2 only — wrong: Wrong: statement 2 is false because a member who becomes a Minister must cease to be a committee member. • Both 1 and 2 — wrong: Wrong: statement 2 is false, since Ministers cannot be nominated to these committees. • Neither 1 nor 2 — wrong: Wrong: statement 1 is true, because the 21 plus 10 split is the standard composition.
