Union home ministry has informed the Supreme Court that the CAA does not violate any fundamental right. Affidavit in this regard has been filed by Director in the Ministry of Home Affairs B C Joshi. However, protest on this is continuing all across.
The ministry in its 129-page affidavit in response to the pleas challenging the constitutional validity of CAA, termed the legislation legal and asserted that there was no question of it violating constitutional morality. It has also gone to the extent of saying that it does not come under the purview of judicial review.
CAA does not confer any arbitrary and unguided powers on the executive as the citizenship to the persecuted minorities of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh would be granted in a manner as specified under the law governing grant of citizenship.
