Karnataka High Court Halts Deportation of Russian Woman's Children
A court in India has stopped the government from sending a Russian woman's kids back to Russia for now.
This happened because the court wants to make sure the children are safe and cared for, as required by international rules.
The government said the kids don't have the right papers to travel.
The court will hold another meeting to fully look into the situation.
The court has told the government not to deport the children without telling them first, until the next hearing in August.
Karnataka High Court temporarily halted the deportation of a Russian woman's children.
The court cited the need to consider the children's best interests as mandated by the UNCRC.
The court was responding to a petition challenging the deportation order.
The Union of India stated the children lacked valid travel or identity documents.
The court ordered a detailed hearing and directed the respondents to submit a written affidavit.
