New Delhi: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the plea of Italian marine Salvatore Girone on May 26. Mr Girone is one of the two Italian marines who are accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala. He is seeking permission to go to Italy till an International Arbitral Tribunal decides the jurisdictional issue between India and Italy.
The other marine Massimiliano Latorre is already in Italy on health grounds and his stay there has recently been extended by the Supreme Court till September 30 this year.
A vacation bench comprising Justices PC Pant and DY Chandrachud would hear the fresh plea of Mr Girone on Thursday in which he has sought modification of a Kerala High Court order granting him bail in the case.
Italy and India have been making contrary claims over the right to prosecute the two Italian marines in the case.
The court had earlier stayed all criminal proceedings, including the trial of the two marines.
The marines, who were on board ship 'Enrica Lexie', are accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the Kerala coast on February 15, 2012.
