JAIPUR: The High Court has issued a notice to the Saudi Arabian embassy in Delhi, seeking an explanation for the prolonged delay in releasing the mortal remains of a Rajasthan youth, who died there on November 13, leaving his family devastated.
Intervening in the matter, the Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur issued a notice to the Saudi Arabian government on Thursday, after the body of Ramesh Kumar Meghwal, a resident of Balotra district, remained undispatched even after 28 days of his death.
Justice Nupur Bhati sought a response from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its Embassy in New Delhi, following a petition filed by the deceased’s mother, Teeju Bai.
Legal experts consider this a significant judicial step, as issuing a notice to a foreign government in a humanitarian matter is rare.
