Supreme Court Addresses Plea to Repatriate Son's Mortal Remains from Dubai

The Supreme Court has requested responses from the Centre and involved parties regarding a plea filed by a widow. The plea concerns her son's remains who died in Dubai last December. Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta are overseeing the case, set for hearing on March 16.

The petitioner's attorney highlighted that her son went to Dubai for work but has now been reported dead. The information was relayed to her via a call from the embassy, leaving the family in uncertainty due to a lack of details about his death.

The courtroom bench expressed concerns over the missing information and questioned the lack of local contacts in Dubai that could assist. The plea seeks the government's intervention to retrieve the remains for last rites and rituals.
