The government's counsel submitted that the authorities are not advising the woman's mother to visit Yemen as it could be risky.
The Delhi High Court on Saturday sought the Centre's response on a plea by the mother of a Kerala woman, who is on death row in Yemen for killing a Yemini national, seeking facilitation of her travel to that country to negotiate with the victim's family about paying blood money to save her daughter.
The plea, which was filed during the day, was listed for urgent hearing before Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora who issued notice to the central government on the petition at a special hearing.
The government's counsel, who sought time to take instructions on the plea, submitted that the authorities are not advising the woman's mother to visit Yemen as it could be risky.
