MOHAMMAD SALIMULLAH AND ANR. VERSUS UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. CIVIL) NO.793 OF 2017 - Synopsis
Akash Tripathi 11 Aug 2021

petition had been filed before the Supreme Court, challenging the decision to deport Rohingya Muslims who have been refuge in India to escape persecution in Myanmar.

Rohingyas are a small ethnic minority from Myanmar’s Rakhine state, who have been facing violent persecution at the hands of the Myanmar government, military and Buddhist nationalists. Lakhs of Rohingyas have fled their home country in the recent past to seek shelter in neighbouring countries.

The petition had been filed by two Rohingya immigrants, Mohammad Salimullah and Mohammad Shaqir, residing in Delhi, who relied on a Reuters report which claimed that the Central Government has decided to deport 40,000 Rohingyas back to Myanmar, the country of their persecution.

The apex court said that article 14 and 21 are guaranteed to the all citizen`s but article 19(1)(e) is not according to the bench, the latter article is the only that contains the right not to be deported, since it provides for the right to reside or settle in any part of India. This is only available to citizens further the order takes note of the Union`s National Security concern with `touts` who provide safe passage to India for Illegal immigrants. On the basis of that bench refused the interim relief.
