New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to release nearly 150-170 Rohingya refugees held in a sub-jail in Jammu while ordering they should not be deported unless the procedure prescribed is followed.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian, said:
"Two serious allegations have been made in reply of the Union of India. They relate to (i) the threat to internal security of the country; and (ii) the agents and touts providing a safe passage into India for illegal immigrants, due to the porous nature of the landed borders."
