Judge lashed out at Center in Supreme Court, harsh remarks on return of pregnant woman to her country

News India Live, Digital Desk: The Supreme Court has once again strongly reprimanded the Central Government and given a clear message that human sensitivities cannot be suppressed in diplomatic files. The case is related to the deportation of Bhodu Shaikh’s pregnant daughter, hearing which the bench of Justice Surya Kant has given the government a ‘last chance’. The harshness of the court has made it clear that it is in no mood to tolerate any further delay in this case. Strict stance of the Supreme Court on humanitarian grounds: During the hearing of Bhodu Shaikh’s petition in the Supreme Court, the judges expressed displeasure over the lax attitude of the Central Government. The case is of a woman who is pregnant and facing deportation proceedings on foreign soil. The Court raised the question that when it comes to the basic human rights of a citizen and the future of an unborn child, why is there a procedural delay? Justice Surya Kant said in a warning tone to the government that this is the last time that time is being given, next time come with a concrete action report. What is the case of Bhodu Shaikh and his daughter? Actually, this legal battle is about saving a family from breaking up and about the safety of a pregnant woman. Bhodu Shaikh has approached the Supreme Court to stop his daughter’s deportation. It has been argued in the petition that considering the physical condition and safety of the woman, the decision to send her back is inhumane. When the lawyer appearing for the central government asked for more time, the bench clearly said that the court cannot wait indefinitely in such sensitive cases. The battle of diplomacy versus human rights: Legal experts believe that this case will set an example for the future. The Supreme Court is trying to decide whether strict deportation policies can be relaxed on humanitarian grounds, especially when the case involves a pregnant woman. The Central Government will now have to clarify what stand it takes in this matter. While fixing the date of next hearing, the court has directed the government to submit a detailed affidavit.
