NEW DELHI: With more than 100 fugitives taking shelter in foreign countries to escape the clutches of law-enforcing agencies in India, the Supreme Court said on Friday that the Centre must take action to bring them back to face trial.The bench of Justice J S Khehar and Justice Arun Mishra expressed concern over fugitives easily flying out of the country, and said the Centre must ensure that they are brought to justice.Without naming liquor baron Vijay Mallya , against whom courts have issued non-bailable warrant in loan default case after he fled to London , the bench said, "We are seeing that everybody is running away now-a-days to evade proceedings."The court said it is necessary to get such people back to send a message that law can catch hold of them. "We must set a precedent," the court said.The court directed the Centre to take all necessary steps to bring back businesswoman Ritika Awasty who is residing in London and has refused to come back to face trial in a criminal case. The SC had allowed Awasty to go abroad to to meet her ailing husband but did not return. It had earlier directed the Centre to revoke her passport and asked the Indian high commission in London to initiate action to bring her back to India.Expressing the Centre's inability to take action, solicitor general Ranjit Kumar told the bench that the government did not have details of her passport and steps to bring her back could be taken only after details were provided to it.The bench, however, said it was the Centre which had issued passport to her and it could easily get information about her. "It is your job to bring her back to face proceedings in court. You tell us how and when you are bringing her back... Passport and immigration come under you. Somewhere we are getting a feeling that you are not interested in getting her back," the bench said.The SG said the passport was handed over by UP police to her on the direction of the SC and the Centre was not involved in it. He, however, assured the court that the government could revoke the passport within 24 hours after getting her details. The court granted the Centre time till December 15.
