NEW DELHI: With India and Pakistan embroiled in a diplomatic row over Kulbhushan Jadhav, the Supreme Court today said India has deported several foreign prisoners even in matters where “no reciprocity” has been shown by those nations.
A bench, comprising Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan, while dealing with the issue of release of Pakistani nationals from Indian jails on completion of their prison terms, said no other consideration comes into its way for the release of foreign prisoners once they complete their punishment.
“We do it even when there is no reciprocity from the other country. We do it despite what is happening with our people in that country where they are in jail. We have read about Mr Jadhav,” the bench said, without naming Pakistan. (AGENCIES)
