The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to allow a 46-year-old Bangladeshi woman to leave the country without insisting on any fee when not only her actions in India were suspicious, but she also had links with the officers of the Special Services Group (SSG) of an another neighbouring country.
“Any indulgence shown to the petitioner, on any kind of sympathy, would be putting fetters on the discretion of the government, the FRRO, and the Bureau of Immigration, more so in cases where there is even a semblance of threat to national security of any kind,” the court observed.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the order while dismissing a petition filed by Raktima Khanum, a resident of Rajajinagar and wife of one Janardhana Reddy.
