MADURAI: The Union Ministry of External Affairs, in an appeal filed before the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, has contended that a single judge of the court was wrong in considering plea for citizenship to 65 Sri Lankan refugees without noting that the claim of citizenship by illegal migrants is not only unjustified but also specifically barred under the provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
The ministry was challenging an order by the single judge directing the ministry to consider granting citizenship to the 65 persons on humanitarian grounds. The order was passed two years ago, in a joint petition filed by the 65 persons in 2009. Since the order was not complied with, the petitioners have moved a contempt petition, which has prompted the Central government to file the appeal.
