Here too the time is 90 days but the case is quite complex.
1. Italians requested the case not be tried in Kerala where the incident occurred as the local population may be biased.
Indian Supreme court agreed but due to different reasons than bias (they couldn't admit to bias in judiciary can they?)
2. Supreme court directed NIA (National Investigative Agency) to investigate the case and file the chargesheet. NIA completed the investigations during the 90 days but then the drama started.
a. Italians then left for Italy after their Ambassador gave a sovereign guarantee that that they would return for trials,
b. Italian PM says Marines won't return and they would be tried in Italy.
c. Indian Supreme court gets pissed off and passes an order restricting Italian ambassador from leaving India as he had reneged on Sovereign Guarantee.
d. Italians blink and send Marines back to India after Indian Govt promises that would be not be charged under sections which have death penalty.
e. Italians played a brilliant game and outfoxed India as NIA can only investigate in cases like piracy and terrorism all of which have death penalty as possible punishment.
f. Italians then ask for whole investigation to be conducted again as NIA was wrongfully appointed as investigation agency.
g This April supreme court directed the Special court appointed to quickly try the case and complete the trial in minimum time,
f. Italians again file for stay asking more time till July, 2015 for preparation for their defense
The same Italians are now taking india for arbitration due to delay in trying the case while forgetting they themselves had asked for multiple stays.

Gandhi exists only when India wants to brag about peace and non violence at international forums thereafter he conveniently disappears from our collective memories
Brilliant...No charge sheet has been filed till date. How is Indian Supreme Court going to sustain this case?
There is also a valid case of denied Justice because Supreme Court is the final court of appeal. If they are handling this case then they have not followed the due process of law.
To add salt to the above mentioned point how can the Supreme Court take action against the Italian Ambassador? They can not charge an innocent person to be a criminal. Even if the guarantor is unable to produce the accused the 'zamanat zapt' and the guarantor can not give any more guaranties. They can not arrest the Ambassador he / she is protected under the International Law's. The most India can do is to expel and ask for Italy to send a new Ambassador of close the Embassy. But this is going to also have the same for the Indian missions in Italy.
Till the time India has the capital punishment till that time the Italian's will not feel confident on the Indian Rule of Law.
IMO this is getting complicated day by day...
Are we discussing Pakistan here ???It wont.Cowards have no place in the world.Non violence wont be of any good in the era where Pakistan is anything but peaceful.
The OP is regarding Italy and India...
