BY A STAFF REPORTER: In a significant development, the Indian Union Muslim League moved to the Supreme Court seeking a stay order on the newly implemented CAA on 12th March, Tuesday.
The plea maintained that the Act and Rules would only grant valuable citizenship to individuals belonging to certain religions. Consequently, it will result in a "fait accompli situation" during the pendency of the present Writ Petition.
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced the rules of the Citizenship Amendment Act (2019). Furthermore, the newly-implemented CAA will be called 'The Citizenship Amendment Act (Rules) 2024'. The Act aims to grant Indian Citizenship to the refugees and migrants belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, Jain, and Christian communities who arrived in India before 31st December 2014 and faced persecution in their homelands.
