Right to reside in India only for citizens, Rohingya must go: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court declined to halt the deportation of illegal Rohingya Muslim migrants from Delhi, emphasizing that the right to reside in India is exclusive to citizens. The court acknowledged the migrants' right to life but affirmed they would be handled under the Foreigners Act. The Solicitor General assured due process while highlighting national security concerns and India's non-recognition of Rohingya refugees.
