J. Venkatesan

"No writ of habeas corpus to any authority outside India"
|
NEW DELHI:
The Supreme Court has asked the External Affairs Ministry and the Border Security Force to trace a prisoner of war of the 1971 conflict, suspected to be in jail in Pakistan, and seek his return to India.
The court passed this order acting on a petition by Angrej Kaur. Undaunted by the claim of authorities that her husband Surjit Singh died in the war, she believed he was in the Kot Lakhpat Rai jail.
A Bench consisting of Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice S.H. Kapadia said:"In mythology Sati Savitri's prayer ensured that her husband Satyavan escaped the jaws of death." Similarly,the petitioner, on the basis of some material, believed that her husband was alive.
