MHA files review petition in SC on observations on Sikkimese Nepali

The MHA's move came amid protests in Sikkim over the Supreme Court observation referring to Sikkimese Nepalis as "immigrants" while extending income tax exemption to all old settlers of the state.

The Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday filed a review petition in the Supreme Court against some of its observations referring to Sikkimese Nepalis as "immigrants".
In a series of tweets, the Union Home Minister's office said the central government has submitted before the Supreme Court its position about the sanctity of Article 371F of the Constitution that safeguards the Sikkimese identity.
"Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) files review petition in Supreme Court against some of the observations and directions in a recent judgement dated 13th January, 2023 in two petitions of 2013 and 2021 filed by Association of Old Settlers of Sikkim and Ors in Supreme Court.
"GoI (Government of India) reiterated its position about the sanctity of Article 371F of the Constitution that safeguards the Sikkimese identity, which should not be diluted. Further, the observation in the said order about persons of foreign origin settled in Sikkim like Nepalis should be reviewed as the said persons are Sikkimese of Nepali origin," the tweets said.
The MHA's move came amid protests in Sikkim over the Supreme Court observation referring to Sikkimese Nepalis as "immigrants" while extending income tax exemption to all old settlers of the state.

Rijiju clarified that the Supreme Court judgment does not dilute Article 371F of the Constitution concerning Sikkim, and "has nothing to do with anyone's citizenship".

Sikkim protest: Modi govt to file review plea in Supreme Court over 'immigrant' tag on Sikkimese Nepalis

Rijiju clarified that the Supreme Court judgment does not dilute Article 371F of the Constitution concerning Sikkim, and "has nothing to do with anyone's citizenship".

Amid protests in Sikkim over the Supreme Court's observations regarding the Sikkimese Nepali community, the Narendra Modi government has said that it will file a review petition in the apex court.
Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on 5 February 2023 said that the central government stands with the people of Sikkim, and so, will file a petition in support of the one submitted by the state government.
Rijiju clarified that the Supreme Court judgment does not dilute Article 371F of the Constitution concerning Sikkim, and "has nothing to do with anyone's citizenship". "We value the Constitutional status of every genuine Indian and (it) will be protected at any cost," he said.
Protests broke out in the state after the top court reportedly referred to Sikkimese Nepalis as "immigrants". The Supreme Court reportedly mentioned the Sikkimese Nepali community as immigrants in an observation on January 13 while extending income tax exemption to all old settlers of the state.
