Delhi High Court declined enrolling Rohingya refugee children in local schools, referring case to Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Delhi High Court has declined a plea for enrolling Rohingya refugee children in local schools, asserting that it falls under the Centre's jurisdiction. The court advised the petitioner, an NGO, to approach the Ministry of Home Affairs, citing international implications related to security and nationality. The court emphasized that allowing such admissions would be a policy decision, not a judicial one, as Rohingyas are considered foreigners without legal entry into India.
