Tablighi Jamaat Case: Delhi Court Orders Deportation Of 8 Foreigners During Pendency Of Revision Against Their Discharge

A Delhi Court on Friday order for deportation of 8 Kazak nationals related to Tablighi Jamaat while a revision petition against their discharge is pending before it. The order was passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Saket in light of the order of Supreme Court's in Maualana Ala Hadrami v. Union of India. In this case, the accused persons had urged that despite discharged by the concerned Trial Court, CMM (South East), they were precluded from returning to their country because of a revision petition filed by the State/Department against the said order. It was submitted that despite release of their passport, no necessary orders directing their deportation and closure of Lookout Circular (LoC) had been granted. Looking at their plight, the Top Court had observed that the Petitioner-accused are free to file a formal application before the Revision Court, seeking deportation to their countries, subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed.

Subject to that arrangement and on fulfillment of such conditions, as may be imposed by the Revisional Court, the concerned Department of Government of India will have no objection for their travelling to their respective countries," the Top Court had ordered.
