The Supreme Court on Thursday urged the Attorney General for India KK Venugopal to use his good offices to help the Indian students who are stranded in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
"There are 1000 of students like this but some have come here... we can't say no, please use your good offices and do something", Chief Justice of India NV Ramana told the AG.
The CJI said this when the AG was appearing in another matter. A petition seeking urgent evacuation of Indian students was mentioned before the CJI earlier today morning.
When the AG appeared, the CJI spoke to him about the matter and asked him to render necessary help.
The AG asked if the students, in respect of whom the petition has been filed, have crossed the Ukraine border. Senior Advocate AM Dar, appearing for the petitioners, submitted that they haven't crossed.
"Government of India has sent a Minister to Romania to make sure once they cross they come back. So I want to know what's the problem", the AG submitted.
"They haven't crossed as yet, where they are.. it is in Ukraine, they weren't allowed to travel, that's the problem", Dar said.
The CJI asked the counsel to give the copy of the petition to the AG. "Please look and see if you can help", the CJI told the AG.
