The great Epic of Enrica Lexie- Part 1

Curtains are down on Part 1 of the epic Voyages of the Italian Ship Enrica Lexie. The apex court has given a very good judgement. The bond money of 3 crore is fine. And also the instructions to the crew and ship's owner that crew should be available if necessary and the ship should be made available for any inspection is also very just. I wonder why the Honourable court is so obsessed with the payment of one crore each to the families of the killed fishermen. After all they are poor people and their lone earning members have been killed. This payment cannot have any effect on the criminal case against the two Marines as they are not a part of it. It is only a criminal case of State of Kerala v/s Two Italian Marines. This payment cannot subvert the process of justice in any way. On the other hand it will help the poor families to make a decent living in spite of the fact their sole earning members are no more. This payment should be ignored totally.  But there is the other matter lying with the court. Is Indian Government authorised to take up this case or not. That decision also is urgent as Italy is contesting it. It will be good if the Italian Marines are charged as then they can apply for bail. They can be given conditional bail as they are not a danger to the society as such and cannot influence the case. Meanwhile the question of which country should take up the case can be settled.
