MUMBAI: Indians stranded abroad cannot be flown back during the current lockdown and flight suspension in India, Supreme Court said on Monday.
The apex court made this observation while hearing petitions seeking the evacuation of stranded Indians from Gulf countries and other places, Indian medias reported.
“Repatriating the overseas Indians at this point of time would be a violation of the COVID-19 travel restrictions imposed by the central government,” the court said.
