Won't order Centre to bring back students stranded in Moldova: SC
New Delhi/UNI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it cannot pass orders to direct the Union of India to bring back the stranded students in Moldova in Europe and refused to interfere with the petition.
The bench, headed by Justice N V Ramana, was hearing a plea, which seeks to airlift of Indian students from Moldova.
It was submitted by the petitioner that the students have been in self-isolation for 1.5 months and that as there are no cases in Moldova anymore, Air Moldova is ready to transport them back.
The Bench responded and said, "The government has said that no people will be allowed to come. The same thing happened in case of students from the UK and the US. The government has taken a decision not to allow any more flights or trains. How can we ask them to allow the plane to land?"
"Let the government take a decision in this regard," the court added.
