The Supreme Court on Wednesday decided to examine the case of a 14-year-old Rohingya girl facing deportation from India to Myanmar.
A Bench led by Justice S. Abdul Nazeer issued notice to the government and asked the petitioner NGO, Global Peace Initiative, represented by senior advocate Sanjay Hegde and advocates Sriram P. and M.S. Vishnu Shankar, to implead the State of Assam. The girl is at an orphanage in Assam while her parents are in a camp in Bangladesh.
