M.T. Enrica Lexie & Anr vs Doramma & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issues surrounding the FIR lodged under Section 302 IPC concerning the shooting incident involving the Italian vessel M.T. Enrica Lexie. The Court held that the actions of the Italian Marines on board the vessel were under the command of the Italian military, thus raising questions about the applicability of Indian law in this context. The Court ultimately upheld the Single Judge's decision allowing the vessel to sail, emphasizing the need for clarity on international maritime law and jurisdictional authority in such cases.
