Will Continue To Engage Diplomatically With UAE Authorities To Obtain Information About 'Jailed' Software Engineer: MEA To Delhi High Court
Live LawResponding to a father’s plea seeking information about his son who is stated to have been jailed in United Arab Emirates, the Union Ministry of External Affairs has told the Delhi High Court that it will continue to engage diplomatically with the authorities in Abu Dhabi through Indian Embassy to obtain relevant information on the case. The submission was made in a short affidavit filed by the Union of India through the Ministry of External Affairs after the court in February asked it to obtain all relevant information relating to the person from the authorities in Abu Dhabi. The Union Government has said that since Hussain’s son has been detained by UAE authorities for a crime that was purportedly committed there, the role of Ministry of External Affairs is “extremely limited and narrow.” “The answering Respondent can, at best, pursue the matter with the UAE authorities, both diplomatically and legally, but it is not within the power or discretion of the Respondent authority to bring the son of the Petitioner back to India,” the response submits. While issuing notice in the plea, the court had asked the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi to coordinate with the local lawyers and also obtain details of any case which may have been instituted against Hussain’s son or any other order that may have been passed against him.
