The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to clear it's stand and gave it a final opportunity to respond to a plea against the continuous detention of a 62-year-old Pakistan national, being held in a detention centre for deportation for the last seven years, even after he spent 3 years and 6 months in jail as punishment under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act.
The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing in a plea filed by the children of a 62-year-old man, who is a Pakistan national and is held in a detention centre for deportation for the last seven years after he spent 3 years and 6 months in jail as a punishment under Section 14 Foreigners Act.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to entertain a “so-called public interest litigation” seeking deportation of those foreign nationals who have been detained solely for overstaying in India beyond their visas to their respective countries.
