SC: Special court to try Italian marines

January 18, 2013 11:22

Just in: The Supreme Court has ruled that the Kerala government has no jurisdiction to prosecute the Italian marines who had allegedly killed two Indian fishermen.

The prosecution of Italian marines will be conducted by the central govt, says the SC, while a Special Court will be set up by the Centre after consulting the Chief Justice of India for hearing the case against the marines.

In their petitions, the marines have argued that Kerala Police have no jurisdiction to register case against them as the incident took place in international waters. The Italian nationals have also asked the apex court to order quashing of criminal case against them.
