The Supreme Court agreed to finally adjudicate by August the question of whether the members of the Rohingya community are entitled to refugee status and hence, immunity from deportation.
About:
Two Rohingya men had moved the Supreme Court against the Centre’s proposed plan to deport 40,000 members of the community to the land of their origin, Myanmar.
Thousands of Rohingya Muslims have been fleeing the Rakhine State on Myanmar’s western coast for years, often caught between the military and Rohingya insurgents who have fought a bloody war for years.
The refugees mostly landed in Bangladesh, but some crossed over into India also. India estimates that 40,000 Rohingya live in the country in camps across the country.
