Kohinoor wasn't stolen, gifted to East India Company: Centre to SC

  •   Mon, Apr 18 2016 03:31:23 PM

New Delhi Apr 18 (Agencies): The Centre on Monday told the Supreme Court that India should not claim 'Kohinoor' diamond as it was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away.

Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar told the apex court 'Kohinoor' was handed over by Maharaja Ranjit Singh to the East India Company. Therefore, as per Culture ministry, it was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away.

Subsequently, Chief Justice asked the Centre if it was for dismissal of a petition seeking the return of Kohinoor.

The court also warned the Centre that it would face problem in future in putting any legitimate claim on the diamond.

In reply, the Solicitor General said that this was the stand of Culture ministry, which also had Ministry of External Affairs in the loop.

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to file a detailed reply within six weeks on the the Kohinoor Diamond issue.

    ..Good decision..what if we say its stolen, we have to fight it in international cost..how much will be legal charges..it may be millions..who will pay (not doubt we the public)..how many year it will take & what guarantee we can get it back..i think at that cost we can dig here in INDIA, can search one..there are many example, one is Hyderabad NAWAB's fortunes in England..so many legal hurdles, may be another 100years legal heirs wont get it..

    East India Company and then the British did not invade India and loot.
    They were invitees who stayed over for a period of just 182 years.After that also they took away so many things..with consent, without consent and all that.
