Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issues surrounding the prosecution of Italian Marines involved in the shooting of Indian fishermen. The court ruled that the Indian authorities had the jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute the case under Indian law, despite the involvement of foreign nationals and a foreign vessel.
