सुप्रीम कोर्ट में डाली याचिका, कहा Israel को हथियार, सैन्य उपकरण भेजने को लेके भारत पर रोक लगाए।

Petition filed in Supreme Court, said to ban India from sending weapons, military equipment to Israel.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction to the Center to cancel any existing licenses and ban the granting of new licenses/permissions to various companies in India for export of weapons and other military equipment during the Israel-Palestine conflict. These companies include a public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Defense, M/s Munitions India Limited and other private companies like M/s Premier Explosives, Adani Defense and Aerospace Limited and others. The petition filed by 11 people including retired civil servant and social activist Ashok Kumar Sharma has alleged. The petition states, "At least three companies in India engaged in the manufacture and export of arms and munitions have been granted licences to export arms and munitions to Israel even during the ongoing war in Gaza. These licences have been obtained either from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) or the Department of Defence Production (DDP), which authorise the export of arms and munitions for dual use and exclusively for military purposes."

The petition, filed through advocate Prashant Bhushan, states that the granting of licences to export arms and other military equipment to Israel is in violation of India's obligations under international law under Articles 14 and 21 read with 51 (c) of the Constitution of India. The petition states that India must immediately take all possible measures to ensure that the arms already supplied to Israel are not used to commit genocide, contribute to acts of genocide, or violate international humanitarian law. The petition further states, "In view of this constitutional mandate, any supply of arms and war materials by India to the State of Israel is morally unjustifiable and legally and Constitutionally untenable." "India should immediately suspend its assistance, particularly military assistance, including military equipment, to Israel, insofar as this assistance may be used in violation of the Genocide Convention, international humanitarian law or other mandatory norms of general international law," the petition states.
