New Delhi, Mar 16: Union of India is taking effective diplomatic steps to resolve the crisis
regarding the presence of illegal Rohingya Muslim refugees staying in the
country, the Supreme Court has been informed.
On Friday, the Centre filed an affidavit in the apex court in
this regard, according to a lawyer connected to the case.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, and also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, ruled, 'We would hear the case on March 19, Monday.'
A number of petitioners, including Mohammed Salimullah, a Rohingya, had moved the apex court seeking its intervention and a direction not to deport them to Myanmar. If they are deported, they may be killed in Myanmar, it was contended.
Senior counsel and legal expert, Prashant Bhushan, appearing for Salimullah, pleaded to the apex court for a humane approach and not to deport them the Rohingyas to Myanmar till their petition has heard properly and in great detail.
Mr Bhushan had submitted that those Rohingyas who want to come to India should not be pushed back by the Border Security Force. The force is allegedly using chilli powder to push them back, he told the apex court, pleading that it was a gross violation of the international conventions on refugees.
The Indian government, Mr Bhushan contended, must be prevented from stopping the entry of more Rohingyas into the country due to persecution faced in Myanmar.
