Condition of Rohingya in Myanmar is not conducive for deportation: counsel
Telangana High Court on Thursday directed the State government to release five Rohingya (who are Myanmar nationals) who were detained in Cherlapally central prison immediately, observing that the State government had no power to detain them.
Pronouncing judgment in a batch of five writ petitions filed by relatives/families of Rohingya, a bench of Justices Shameem Akther and E.V. Venugopal set aside orders issued by DGP M. Mahender Reddy detaining the five Rohingya. Their detention is “wholly unjustified, ex facie illegal and without specific delegation of power under section 3 (2) (g) of the Foreigners Act”, the bench said.
