NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to direct the Centre to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation package for migrants from Pakistan who obtained citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
A bench of acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said it was a policy matter of the government and asked the Centre to decide the petitioner’s representation instead.
Petitioner Akhil Bhartiya Dharma Prasar Samiti said there was a sizeable number of migrants from Pakistan who obtained citizenship pursuant to the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019.
