Bail to Italian Marines

And at last. High Court did the correct thing to grant them bail. The argument raised by the counsel for Kerala was childish or inane. When the passports of the marines are surrendered and the Italian Government was standing surety for their presence during trial was most idiotic objection. There is a news in Manorama on line that Kerala is going to oppose the bail application and that only it will ask the court to put stringent conditions while granting bail. Also the report says 'Government is "happy" to drop the SUA Act charges'. It is a mystery why the Government of Kerala should be so condescending to be happy to drop SUA Act charges? It simply indicates that SUA Act will not stand in a court and Government will look utterly foolish to prefer charges on that count. It will be like the pronouncement that this shooting was a terrorist action. It looks that Kerala Government is loosing steam slowly. Who knows in six months time the government will be happy to see that this case is settled somehow or other.
