NEW DELHI (TIP): The Supreme Court has said that the Kerala government or police have no jurisdiction to deal with the case arising from shooting of two Indian fishermen by Italian naval guards. The apex court said on Friday that the shooting of two Indian fishermen by Italian naval guards is a federal crime and hence only the central government can have jurisdiction to deal with the case. The SC also directed the Centre to constitute a special court in consultation with the Chief Justice of India for the trial of the two marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen.
