The Supreme Court today pulled up Italy's Ambassador Daniele Mancini for reneging on the undertaking given to it on the Italian marines row. The apex court also extended its order restraining him from leaving the country, asserting he cannot claim diplomatic immunity.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir reminded the Italian Ambassador again about the undertaking given by the Italian envoy and said, the court never expected and never believed that the Italian Ambassador will renege like this.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Mancini and Republic of Italy pressed on the issue of immunity after the order barring the envoy from leaving the country was extended to April 2 when the case will again come up for hearing.

Rohatgi's submission was taken exception to by the bench which said, the court is not so naive and he has lost the trust. The court said, the envoy has no immunity.

The apex court had on March 14 asked Mancini not to leave the country without its permission, taking exception to his government's refusal to send back the two marines, Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone to face trial in India in the killing of two Indian fishermen last year.

Before passing the order day, the bench said the period of four weeks for which the marines were allowed to go to Italy to cast their vote was yet to be over and still they have time to return.
