Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Saturday said he has got him dropped from the case even as Centre distanced itself from the ASG's remarks.Chandy said he had spoken to solicitor general Rohinton Nariman asking him not to allow Raval to appear in the case. 'Nariman has agreed to this,' the chief minister said.
In a fax message to Law Minister Salman Khurshid, Chandy wanted to know under what circumstances Raval had submitted in the Supreme Court that India has no jurisdiction to detain the Italian ship 'Enrica Lexie' from which marines had shot dead two Indian fishermen on February 15 off Kerala coast.
In his submission, Raval had said the ship was not within Indian territorial waters when the shooting incident happened.
Chandy wanted the Centre to engage the Attorney General in the case in place of Raval, whose submission in the apex court on Friday drew sharp reaction from both the opposition and the ruling Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF).
Earlier Chandy said there was no change in the state's stand on the issue and that Raval would not appear in the case.
