Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on Netaji Bose's Ashes Repatriation Plea
The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Centre seeking its response to a petition filed by Anita Bose Pfaff, daughter of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, requesting the return of his ashes from Tokyo's Renkoji Temple. The ashes have reportedly been preserved there since shortly after Bose's alleged death in a 1945 plane crash. Pfaff, the sole direct heir, has urged the government to facilitate repatriation so she can perform his final rites in India. The court's notice follows previous petitions and ongoing debates about the remains' status.
