Supreme Court Rejects Sri Lankan Tamil's Plea, Says India Not A 'Dharamshala' For Refugees

The Supreme Court of India has made a strong statement while rejecting a plea for refuge by a Sri Lankan national, asserting that India is not a ‘dharamshala’ (free shelter) for refugees from across the world. The remarks came from a bench comprising Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice K Vinod Chandran, who were hearing a petition filed by a Sri Lankan citizen arrested in 2015 over alleged links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a banned terrorist organization that was active in Sri Lanka. The court emphasized that while India has a tradition of providing shelter to those in need, it cannot allow its national security and legal framework to be compromised. The judges made it clear that granting asylum cannot be automatic or unconditional, especially in cases involving serious security concerns. This decision reflects a more assertive stance by the judiciary on matters of immigration and national security.#indiasupremecourt #refugeecrisis #srilankanrefugee #ltte #justicejudgement #legalruling #deportationcase #humanrights #immigrationlaw #toi #toibharat
