What did the petitioner counsel say?

Gonsalves told the bench that he has filed an affidavit giving the details of Rohingya families and pointed out that they have UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) cards. He sought time from the court to furnish more details on Rohingya families.

Gonsalves told the court that they are refugees having UNHCR cards and therefore they can’t have Aadhaar cards and for want of Aadhaar they are not being granted access to public schools and hospitals. He also told the court that they resided in Shaheen Bagh, Kalindi Kunj and Khajuri Khas areas of the national capital and while they were residing in slums in Shaheen Bagh and Kalindi Kunj, they were residing in rented accommodation in Khajuri Khas.

The bench posted the matter for further hearing after 10 days.

What did apex court earlier say?

The top court had earlier on January 31 asked the petitioner NGO to give details of the Rohingya families that where they have settled and what facilities they have access to and directed the counsel to file an affidavit giving details of their places of settlement in the national capital.
