SC won’t meddle in Lankan military training
9 Oct 2012 6:33 AM IST
The Supreme Court Monday refused to interfere with the military training imparted to Sri Lankan army and air force personnel in India. Justice Aftab Alam and Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai dismissed a PIL filed by advocate N. Rajaraman, observing that the court cannot go into policy decisions of the govt having foreign policy implications. The court said the petition was misconceived.
The petitioner submitted that the govt cannot train Sri Lankan military personnel and cited letters written by TN CM Jayalalithaa and other political leaders in the state. Jayalalithaa has argued that India must not train Lankan soldiers because of allegations of atrocities on Tamils in 2009.
