India is not a 'dharamshala': SC junks plea against deportation
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|May 20, 2025
The Supreme Court on Monday sent a strong message that India is not a "dharamshala" (shelter) for housing refugees, refusing to interfere with a high court order directing deportation of a Sri Lankan Tamil after he completed his sentence under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for being a member of the banned Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
NEW DELHI:
A bench headed by Justice Dipankar Datta, said, "We are struggling with (population of) 1.4 billion. This is not a dharamshala that we can entertain foreign nationals from all over." The court was hearing a petition filed by Subaskaran, who completed a seven-year term in 2022 and has since been at a detention camp in Tiruchirapalli pending his deportation to Sri Lanka.
His lawyers argued that his wife and children are settled in Tamil Nadu and there is a threat to his life if he returns to Sri Lanka, but the bench, also comprising Justice Vinod K Chandran, categorically asserted that the right to reside in the country belongs only to citizens and foreigners should leave the country.

His noble soul remains country’s inner monitor
I have no memories of the great man. As a two-three year old, I was lucky enough to have seen Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel many times. Including on his last birthday, on October 31, 1950, when my parents took me to his home to greet him and join a two-family photo-op. But all those real ‘sightings’ as I would like to think of them, have been wiped off my mind's screens.
