‘Do We Give Them a Red Carpet Welcome?’: SC Questions Maintainability of Plea on ‘Illegal’ Deportation of Rohingya
The Supreme Court questioned the legal basis for Rohingya refugee status and emphasized deportations must follow due process amid concerns over illegal immigration and resource allocation.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of India heard a habeas corpus plea alleging five Rohingya persons detained by Delhi Police disappeared and adjourned the case to December 16.
- Petitioners say the disappearance of five Rohingya from custody demands due legal process, the bench queried if the Union government granted refugee status, and counsel cited the deportation memorandum as mandatory.
- Taking a firm view, the Chief Justice of India Surya Kant rebuked granting benefits to illegal entrants and flagged India’s `sensitive border`, while emphasizing no one should face `third-degree methods`.
- Solicitor General Tushar Mehta urged the Bench not to issue notice and said the petition should not be considered unless aggrieved individuals themselves approach the court, while the Union government opposed maintainability citing an April 2021 order.
- The bench warned that granting relief in one case could prompt similar demands, amid concerns over India's northern `sensitive border` and the broader crisis of over 7,00,000 Rohingya and 43 Rohingya .
