INDIA’S JURISDICTION IN ITALIAN MARINE CASE ‘AFFIRMED’: JAITLEY
The Centre today emphasised in Lok Sabha that the UN arbitration tribunal’s order allowing a murder-accused Italian marine to return home from India pending its proceedings has ‘affirmed’ the Supreme Court’s authority and not questioned it. Making a statement, Union Minister Arun Jaitley said the tribunal has confirmed Italy’s obligation to return Sergeant Girone to India in case India’s jurisdiction over him is established.
