Srinagar: The Supreme Court is likely to hear a petition on deportation of Rohingya refugees, today, who had fled the persecution in Myanmar and sought refuge in India, Indian Express reported.
According to Indian Express bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, ‘will hear the matter wherein the Centre has questioned the credentials of the petitioners seeking to block the deportation of Rohingya refugees, saying the genesis of the PILs threaten to change the country’s demography and destabilise it.’
Last month, a bench comprising Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud had directed the Centre to file a comprehensive report on the conditions in Rohingya refugee camps across various states, particularly Haryana, Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir, reads India Express report.
The order came after senior advocate Colin Gonsalves claimed that the conditions at the camp are unhygienic and “filthiest to say the least”.
