In T. Ganesan vs The Government of India &amp; Others, the Madurai Bench of the High Court, in its judgment on November 30, directed the authorities to treat the petitioner and his family as Indian citizens, thus extending to them relief measures that the Tamil Nadu government provides to repatriates from Sri Lanka. The 69-year-old petitioner, now a resident of a <strong>refugee (An exile who flees for safety) <\/strong>camp in Karur, reached India in 1990 after having been issued an Indian passport in Kandy in August 1982 on repatriation under two <strong>bilateral (Affecting or undertaken by two parties) treaties (A formal agreement between two or more states) <\/strong>that concerned hill country Tamils or Indian Origin Tamils (IOT). He had approached the court as the authorities treated him only as a Sri Lankan refugee even though he is an Indian citizen. The government accepted the genuineness of his passport but doubted his identity because the photograph was the image of a \u201cfar younger\u201d person. But the court rejected this position. Ganesan is not the only such person. The court has recorded that around 5,130 applicants (IOT category) have sought citizenship. In official data of March 2023, Tamil Nadu had about 91,000 refugees, with around 58,000 in camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time that the Bench, especially Justice G.R. Swaminathan, has gone to the <strong>rescue (Recovery or preservation from loss or danger) <\/strong>of those in the camps. In the last 15 months, the judge had established that the petitioners concerned were Indian citizens, interpreting provisions of the Citizenship Act, and should be issued passports. Otherwise, the general legal position of the Union government is that every refugee is an illegal <strong>migrant (Traveller who moves from one region or country to another) <\/strong>though entitled to benefits. A DMK State government study found that nearly 8,000 refugees are eligible for Indian citizenship as they do not come under <strong>exclusions (keeping or leaving somebody\/something out) <\/strong>of the law. The Union government\u2019s stand has been that despite not being a <strong>signatory (Someone who signs and is bound by a document) <\/strong>to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention or the 1967 Protocol, it adheres to the principle of <strong>non-refoulement (the practice of not forcing refugees or asylum seekers to return to a country in which they are liable to be subjected to persecution)<\/strong>. The government also favours the voluntary repatriation of refugees to Sri Lanka. This was a reason why the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 did not include Sri Lankan refugees. The Centre should ensure follow-up action on the DMK government\u2019s study. It should first identify those eligible for citizenship under the legal framework and ascertain their <strong>consent (Permission for something to happen)<\/strong>. For those who wish to pursue higher studies or go abroad for a livelihood, permission can be granted if the applicant has no criminal record. The Union government should initiate talks with Sri Lanka on voluntary repatriation and a structured assistance programme worked out. A proactive approach should be followed to ensure that those tagged as refugees are able to lead a life of dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know the meanings of difficult words published in the editorial of December 14, 2023?
