SC extends stay of Italian Marines till April 30

Supreme Court today extended the stay of Italian Marine Massimiliano Latorre, and Salvatore Girone, in Italy till April 30. Apex court asked the government to apprise it of the status of international arbitration proceedings in the case.<br/><br/>While allowing the joint request of India and Italy, the court had said the proceedings would remain stalled till the jurisdictional issue about which country has the right to conduct the trial was decided through international arbitration.<br/><br/>The marines, who were on board ship 'Enrica Lexie', are charged with killing two Indian fishermen off the Kerala coast on February 15, 2012. The court, in August last year, had extended the stay of Latorre, who underwent a heart surgery in Italy, by another six months.
