Britain has ordered extradition of one of the main Naval war room leak accused Ravi Shankaran to India to face trial, a move that may expedite court proceedings pending for several months.

"On May 22, the Secretary of State, having carefully considered all relevant matters, signed an order for Ravi Shankaran's extradition to India. Mr Shankaran is accused of industrial espionage under the Indian Official Secrets Act," a Home Office spokesperson told PTI in London today.

UK Home Secretary Theresa May issued the orders for his extradition to India and facing trial but gave Shankaran,close relative of former Naval Chief Admiral Arun Prakash, 14 days time to file an appeal in the case, the CBI said in New Delhi.

Shankaran's defence team told the court that he intends to appeal against the order. Unless an appeal is filed within the time-frame, the authorities will proceed with extradition procedures immediately.
