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.
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.
SC said it wants to find out during the hearing whethet 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.
Capt Kalia was leading a patrol party when he was captured by Pakistani soldiers. He was tortured before being killed. His mutilated body was later haded over to Indian Army.
