Students' Federation of India has filed a Petition under Article 32 of The Constitution of India challanging the Constitutional Validity of The Citizenhip Ammendment Act 2019 along with the validity of the power of central government for granting class exemption under the Passport Entry Into India Act 1920 and Foreigners Act 1946.
In the instant case, SFI has sought intervention of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in order to represent the student who will be the worst suffer of these draconian Acts as it attempts to make a distinction between the Citizen and Non Citizen on the basis of relegion. SFI stated in the Petition that the impugned amnenment Act has does satisfy the duel test of Article 14 1.The Test of reasonable classification and 2.The Object sought to be achieved by this Act has no reasonable nexus with the Act itself. SFI represens the students of the Country who aspire to join in various trade,occupation and professions upon completion of their study.This CAA as a whole has become an impediment for fulfilment of their dreams as the Article 19(1)(g) of the Constotution of India gurantees the freedom of business, profession, trade only to the citizen of India.There is a substantial threat of loss of occupational,professional protection due to the NRC, NPR and the other measures undertaken under the Citizenship Ammendment Act.
