British authorities are unlikely to seek extradition of Indian doctor Mohammeed Haneef, charged in Australia in connection with last month's failed car bombings in the UK, a media report said in London on Wednesday.

At the moment there is no request for an extradition, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

The likelihood is that British authorities will leave Haneef to the Australian legal system unless major evidence turns up in either the UK or Australia, it said.

Evidence is still being examined, including records of e-mails and phone calls.

Haneef has been charged with providing 'reckless' to a terrorist group in connection with the failed bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.
