Supreme Court declines to issue a PIL order to evacuate Indian citizens from the United States amid COVID19 pandemic

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has refused to pass any order on a plea seeking to evacuate Indian Citizens Stranded in the USA after the outbreak of Coronavirus COVID-19 and said that these are not matters that can be entertained at this time.

 

A Bench of Justices N V Ramana, S K Kaul, and B R Gavai observed that “the U.S. government was extending visas for stranded Indians, who are spread across America, and it would be difficult for the court to pass any order for bringing them back at this stage”

 

Senior Advocate Vibha appearing in person said, “The Indian government has done a lot of work. We appreciate it”. She also told the bench that it would cost around USD 200 to apply for a visa extension, and there was no guarantee of extending the visa.

 

The bench said "It is a different government. We cannot control their decisions. The Indian government can request the US government to not create problems in the visa extension.”

The Solicitor General informs the bench that evacuation from foreign countries had been performed earlier but "now, it has been stopped internationally."

 

The bench stated that “The Court will not tell the government to do anything in a particular manner. This is a worldwide problem and each country is doing its best.”

Moreover, individual applications may be submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs, for which contact details will be given to the Nodal officers.
