\"\"REPORT ON TLA LAWYER MS. NAMGYAL TSEKEY\u2019S OFFICIAL TRIP<\/strong>
\n TO DELHI MHA TO MEET THE CONCERNED\u00a0 OFFICER REGARDING RC<\/strong>MATTER\u00a0<\/strong>
\nA Tibetan Student studying in TCV since childhood could not apply for RC as he
\nwas born in Nepal. So he submitted a forged birth certificate showing birth place as
\nIndia, for which he was charged for violation of IPC and Foreigner\u2019s Act. The
\nJJB Dehradun in its Judgment dated 23.8.2017 said the power to make RC lay
\nwith MHA or FRO and if he did not obtain RC within 45 days he would be
\ndeported to Nepal. In appeal, the Special Court for Children on 16.9.2017 closed
\nthe case and granted two more months time to obtain RC.
\nRepresentation Before MHA:<\/strong>
\nPursuant to the representation by TLA , on 24\/05\/2017, FRRO Dehradun filled
\nonline form for his RC application. The matter was referred to MHA Delhi for
\napproval. This was followed up by the official representation of CTA via
\nBureau Office of H.H the Dalai Lama upon TLA\u2019s request on 30.5.2017, and a
\nsent reminder on 16.8.2017, and repeated on 30.8.2017,to request authorize FRRO
\nDehradun to issue RC to Mr. Tenzin Norgay on humanitarian ground at the earliest.
\n9.10.2017 ( Monday) : Ms. Namgyal Tsekey along with Mr. Tenzin Norgay
\nwent to MHA and met Mr. N. K Sahoo, under-secretary of Foreign Division,
\nMHA, who knows about the case and was in charge of it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sahoo showed the file and said that authorization had already been granted
\nmuch before the judgment date and said that the approval had come from the
\ngovernment side .
\nPursuant to the representation by the TLA, Mr. Sahoo once wrote to FRO
\nDehradun on 12.4. 2017 to initiate issuing RC after intimation to MHA and
\nsubject to inquiry and IB reports. An offline approval was also sent on 14.6.2017
\npursuant to the representation of Bureau Office of H.H the Dalai Lama, and
\naccordingly, the request received online through online CFRO system on
\n24.5.2017 had been closed. However, the FRO Dehradun\u00a0 misunderstood\u00a0 the\u00a0 fact and
\ninformed the TLA lawyer orally on 14.7.2017 of the offline mail dated
\n14.6.2017 that the RC was denied by MHA and his file was closed.
\nTLA was upset to learn that despite the approval by MHA was sent on 14.6.2017
\nbefore the passing of the judgment on 23.8.2017, this misunderstanding on the part of\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0FRO Dehradun had caused grave legal injury to the boy leading to his conviction under section\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a014 of the Foreigners Act though he was acquitted on charges of forgery
\nbut the issue was with using the forged document, which is altogether a different
\nmatter that in an appeal before the children\u2019s special court, we got the opportunity
\nto close the case on 16.9.2017 and got two more months time to obtain RC.
\nIn a fresh approval letter dated 5.10.2017, MHA gave clear instructions to FRO
\nDEHRADUN to immediately issue RC for the boy.<\/p>\n

The said\u00a0 Letter says \u201c It is<\/em>
\n again requested to take appropriate action immediately to grant stay permit to Mr.<\/em>
\n Tenzin XXXXXX – Tibetan Refugee, under intimation to this Ministry<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Talk on Policy Matter:<\/p>\n

TLA lawyer also took the opportunity to speak about
\nthe need to adopt a new \/special policy to allow Tibetan children from Nepal
\nstudying in India to obtain RC without having to apply for special approval and
\nwithout having to wait till age 17. Mr. N. K Sahoo thinks that this should be done
\nthrough representation addressed to MHA and they will consider on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
