Supreme Court has restraind the Italian Ambassador from leaving the country. This follows Italy's refusal to send back two marines charged with killing Indian fishermen.

The court issued notice to the Italian Ambassador and the two marines. It has sought explanation from the Italian government for reneging on its assurance to send back the marines to face trial in India.

The apex court has directed the Ambassador to file his response by March 18. The Attorney General brought the issue to the apex court's notice and informed that the government is extremely concerned about it.
