New Delhi: Italian marine Salvatore Girone has been allowed to return to Italy by the Supreme Court (SC) during arbitration into the 2012 deaths of two Indian fishermen.
"Having considered submissions of the parties subject to conditions the Italian marine Salvatore Girone's bail conditions are modified. An undertaking by the Italian Ambassador shall be filed in the Supreme Court saying that he shall return to India within a month of the tribunal's order holding the Indian government has jurisdiction," said a vacation bench of Justices PC Pant and DY Chandrachud on Thursday.
"The Italian marine shall be brought to India as and when required by Supreme Court order," the bench said.
Recently, Italy requested the SC to urgently enforce a United Nations arbitration tribunal's decision for immediate return of Girone to Italy.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Pinky Anand, appearing for the Centre, had said the government does not object if conditions are relaxed on the same lines as was done in the case of Latorre.
