(Reuters) - India's Supreme Court lifted on Tuesday a three-week order banning Italy's ambassador from leaving the country after Italy sent two marines back to India to face trial over the deaths of two Indian fishermen.
The court had earlier banned the ambassador, Daniele Mancini, from leaving after Italy announced it would not send the accused marines back after a home visit. But the Italian government changed its mind and sent the two back on March 22.
"It's good news," Diljeet Titus, a lawyer representing the Italian marines, said of the court's decision.
"The travel restriction on the ambassador has been vacated as the undertaking was complied with, Italy kept its word."
