The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the center in connection for hearing the petition filed by two Italian marines. Both the marines have filed a petition seeking the court’s need to travel back to their country to exercise their franchise in the ongoing elections in Italy.
The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir issued the notice as Senior Counsel Harish Salve sought four weeks' permission for the Italian marines to go back to their country.
The court said the matter would be listed Friday by which time the centre would respond to the marines' plea.
Italian marines Chief Master Sergeant Massimilano Latorre and Sergeant Salvatore Girone have moved the petition seeking permission to go back home for four weeks.
It is noted that the two Italian marines on board the Italian cargo vessel Enrica Lexie had shot dead two Indian fishermen Feb 15 last year, suspecting them to be pirates.
