India not dharamshala, can't host refugees from all over: SC junks Sri Lankan man's plea

The Supreme Court on Monday refused a Sri Lankan national’s petition for refuge and said that India is not a dharamshala (free shelter) that can entertain refugees from all across the world. A bench comprising Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice K Vinod Chandran was hearing a plea by a Sri Lankan citizen, who was arrested in 2015 on suspicion of having connections to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a terrorist organisation once active in Sri Lanka.
