Dave and L. Nageswara Rao agreed to hear the plea on September 20. Latorre, who had been allowed to go home in September 2014 on medical grounds, and then given extensions, has sought the same bail conditions as set for marine Salvatore Girone, his co-accused. Girone was allowed to go home in May this year on condition that he return to India within a month of an order from the tribunal. A batch of senior lawyers, including K.T.S Tulsi, mentioned the matter and sought an urgent hearing on the ground that an earlier apex court order in the matter was valid till September 30 this year. The court had earlier stayed all criminal proceedings, including the trial of the two marines.
