The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on Wednesday granted an interim stay of the ongoing extradition proceedings against businessmen Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed, effectively pausing the committal hearing before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court (GMC).
The ruling was handed down during a Case Management Conference (CMC) hearing before CCJ President Justice Winston Anderson, along with Justices Maureen Rajnauth-Lee and Chantal Ononaiwu.
The regional court also set April 21, 2026, at 09:00 hrs for the hearing of the substantive appeal.
Proceedings before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the GMC are now formally suspended pending the outcome of the appeal at the apex court.
The stay comes just days after the Mohameds moved to the CCJ seeking special leave to appeal a decision of the Guyana Court of Appeal, which had dismissed their challenge to the Authority to Proceed in the United States extradition case and declined to halt the process locally.
