M.T. ENRICA LEXIE vs DORAMMA .

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issues arising from the FIR lodged against the Italian vessel M.T. Enrica Lexie under Section 302 IPC for the alleged killing of fishermen. 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 of sovereign immunity and jurisdiction. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellants, allowing the vessel to sail, and set aside the Kerala High Court's order that had restricted its movement.
