You have no value for human lives: SC to Centre

The Supreme Court has slammed the Central government for its poor response on the issue of Indian crew on missing ships.

In October last year the court had asked the Centre to investigate and submit a status report on Jupiter.

Hearing a petition by the family of missing crew members of the ship Jupiter, the court criticised the Centre's half baked affidavit and said:

"You have no value for human lives. This case assumes significance in the wake of the Somalia piracy."

The court has now directed the Centre to file a detailed report.
