Italian marines case | SC stays disbursement of ₹2 crore to owner of fishing boat
The Hindu
Crew claims share, saying they suffered moral harm and trauma due to incident
The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the disbursement of ₹2 crore to the owner of a fishing boat shot at aboard the Italian flagship Enrica Lexie in 2012 after 10 crew members demanded their share from his compensation. The crew said they have every right to get a cut of the compensation from the boat owner. They said they too had suffered “moral harm” and trauma after escaping death by hair’s breadth. Issuing notice to the boat owner, a Bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and V. Ramasubramanian asked the Kerala High Court not to disburse the ₹2 crore to the boat owner for the time being. The court will take up the case again after two weeks.
