NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Centre on a petition seeking direction to Union of India to move International Court of Justice against Pakistan for mutilation of Captain Saurav Kalia's body during Kargil war by Pakistani soldiers.
A bench headed by justice R M Lodha issued notice to the Centre and sought response within ten weeks on a petition filed by Captain Kalia's father, N K Kalia.
When petitioner NK Kalia, father of the dead soldier, said India should have moved ICJ on its own, SC said the door is still open for Union Government to do so even after 13 years of the incident.
The SC said it wants to find out during the hearing whether it would be constitutionally correct to direct Union of India to move the ICJ.
When NK Kalia alleged that he had fought alone for 13 years to protect not only his son's honour but the dignity of Indian soldiers as a whole, the court said it shared the petitioner's anguish much more that what is stated in the petition.
Earlier on November 27, N K Kalia had moved the apex court seeking its direction to the Government to raise his son's case at the International Court of Justice at the Hague.
He had alleged that his son Capt Sourav Kalia, posted with the 4 Jat Regiment (Infantry), was captured as a prisoner of war but was killed in a gruesome manner in violation of the Geneva Convention.
Capt Kalia and five other soldiers of his patrolling team were captured alive on May 15, 1999 and kept in captivity where they were tortured and their bodies mutilated.
