A habeas plea concerning five missing Rohingyas has led to concerns on the safeguards owed to non-citizens.

The Supreme Court addressed the rights of Rohingya refugees and admitted a challenge to restrictions placed on OCIs by the Government.

The Session was dominated by COVID-related cases, and tackling pendency. Maratha reservations were struck down, and Ramana took over as CJI.

The Court initiated a suo moto case on COVID National Policy. CJI Ramana took office from CJI Bobde. Rohingyas were denied interim relief.

DESK BRIEF: A three-judge bench will likely hear the Rohingya case next in mid-August
