The top court passed the order on Wednesday after hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the NGO, which sought a direction to the Centre and Delhi government to ensure that Rohingya refugees could enrol their children in schools and access government benefits without requiring Aadhaar cards or citizenship verification.While directing the NGO not to disclose the personal details of minor Rohingya children, the apex court fixed the matter for further hearing on February 28.The PIL sought government benefits and school admissions for Rohingya refugee children, as well as hospital access for all of them, without requiring Aadhaar cards or proof of citizenship status.During the hearing, the court sought to know where these Rohingya families are living, in whose houses, and what their particulars are. It also clarified that there should be no discrimination in education. “First, the status of residence of the Rohingya families needs to be ascertained,” the SC pointed out.
