Illegal Bangladeshi immigrants threat to India rules Delhi High Court
New Delhi: Expressing concern over the increasing number of illegal immigrants in the national capital, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday said they pose a danger to India's internal security, and dismissed a petition by a Bangladeshi national against her deportation.
Justice S L Bhayana dismissed Razia Begum's petition and upheld the Foreigners Regional Registration Office's (FRRO) decision to deport her and four of her family members back to Bangladesh.
If someone is able to obtain a passport, ration card, election identification card and nationality certificate by illegal means, it doesn't meant that one is an Indian national, until and unless one gets his nationality through legal means, court said.
Razia Begum and four others of her family were arrested from Khanpur area of south Delhi on December 28, 2007, by the deportation cell of the FRRO.
The police recovered a fake ration card, election I-cards and nationality certificates from them.
