India's Supreme
Judge NV Ramana said on Thursday that the Supreme Court could do nothing about
the ongoing dispute between Russia and Ukraine because the Supreme Court had
filed a request to evacuate Indian students from the attack during the war in
Ukraine. "What will the court do? Can I give directions to the President
of Russia to stop the war?" the CJI said as the PIL was discussed for him
on Thursday morning. The applicant's lawyer says that the students were
prevented from crossing Romania out of Ukraine.

"On social
media, I saw some videos saying what is CJI doing! We sympathise with
them," the CJI said. As the counsel contesting for the PIL said,
"People are freezing. They have to take care", the CJI said,
"Who has to take care? The government is already doing. We will ask the AG
to find out."

General KK Venugopal to help the stranded students. "Please help as much
as you can," CJI told Venugopal. The PIL will be sent to the AG office.
