PTI | March 18, 2013



Order restraining Italian Ambassador from leaving India will continue till further orders, says SC.

Italian Ambassador Daniele Mancini tells SC he has complete immunity under the Vienna Convention.

All authorities shall take appropriate steps on order restraining the Italian envoy from leaving the country: SC.

We don't accept and we don't believe in the Ambassador's statement. He has lost trust: SC.

We had not expected the Italian Ambassador to renege like this: SC.

SC fixes April 2 for further hearing, says marines still have time to come back by March 22. Strictly speaking they have not violated our order: SC.

Attorney General G E Vahanvati says Ministry of External Affairs is fully mindful of international obligations.

We are concerned over Mancini's intentions, we want to know if he is going to comply with the order: SC.

Centre takes exception to Italian govt's note verbale in which it speaks about Indian authorities' power to restrict freedom of movement of the Ambassador.
