The Indian Union Muslim League had moved the apex court, challenging the Ministry of Home Affairs notification, which sought applications for Citizenship from non-Muslims, who are refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh in 13 districts.
The plea states that if the said Order is implemented and citizenship is given to persons on the basis of their religion, and, thereafter, if this Hon’ble Court strikes down the Amendment Act and rules, whereby the act of providing citizenship on the basis of religion is declared void.
