India not dharamshala: SC
Orissa POST
|May 20, 2025
The counsel submitted that the petitioner was a refugee and that his family had already settled in India, to which the apex court asked, 'what is your right to settle here?'

The Supreme Court Monday observed the country was not a “dharamshala” or a public shelter to accommodate foreign nationals from across the globe.
A bench of justices Dipankar Datta and K Vinod Chandran was hearing a plea challenging an order of the Madras High Court directing the petitioner, a Sri Lankan citizen, to leave the country after finishing his seven-year sentence in an Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case.
"Is India to host refugees from all over the world? We are struggling with 140 crore people... This is not a dharmshala that we can entertain foreign nationals from all over the world," the bench said.
