New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended the time for Italian marines by three months to return to India. The two Italian marines are accued of fisherman murder in Kerela.
Earlier in December 2014, the apex court had rejected a plea by Italian marine to extend his stay in Italy.
Under international pressure, India had dropped a plan to prosecute the marines under a tough new anti-piracy law. Italy says the incident occurred in international waters and that jurisdiction over the marines should lie with Rome.
In April 2012, Rome had paid $190,000 to each of the victims' families as compensation. In return, the families had dropped their cases against the marines, but the state's case still continues.
