Phaneendra, J.,<\/strong> laid down <strong>certain guidelines in order to deal with the issues arising due to the prolonged stay of illegal immigrants facing proceedings under the Foreigners Act, 1946.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">As per the facts of the case, the accused persons allegedly migrated from Bangladesh and have been staying in India without passport\/ visa or any proper documents provided by the competent authorities. It was also alleged that the accused persons have obtained Aadhar Cards using illegal means. The counsel for the petitioners C. Mohammad Pasha and the Government Pleader, Rohith B.J., both of them submitted that there is no decision that spells out any specific ground upon which bail can be granted to individuals such as the accused persons. They further pointed out that there are no guidelines which have been made to regulate the stay of such persons who have come to India without passport\/visa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Perusing the submissions laid down by both the parties, the Court pointed out that though the instant matter is a simple bail matter, but the issue involved is important enough to for the Court to take notice. The Court pointed out that it is a very difficult task to lay exhaustive guidelines in the matter, but it will nevertheless try to address the \u2018grey areas of law\u2019 in the current matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Some of the important guidelines laid down by the Court<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>are as follows-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">In case a foreign national is arrested under the provisions of Foreigner\u2019s Act and such individual does not possess passport or visa or possesses expired visa, then immediate proceedings shall begin to deport such individual. The jurisdictional police must right away inform the competent authorities to start the deportation proceedings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the foreign nationals fail to obtain bail in any criminal case, then they should be kept in normal jail till the disposal of the case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the foreign nationals are granted bail\/ anticipatory bail under and their offences are under the Foreigners Act and other such laws, then such individuals shall be kept in detention centres till the time they are not deported to their mother country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the event a foreign national ends up being convicted, then they shall be kept in the regular prisons till they serve their sentence. After that they shall be kept in detention centres till the time they are not deported.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the foreign national is acquitted, and their nationality is in dispute before the competent Tribunal, then they shall be kept in detention centres from where they shall be deported, unless they have any right which entitles them to remain in India. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">The public prosecutors and the defence counsels shall try their best to expeditiously deal with such cases. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Central and State Governments shall take all requisite steps to establish sufficient number of detention centres. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">In case the foreign national\/ accused is a woman or a child or a woman having a child, then the competent authorities have to follow the guidelines laid down in <i>R.D.

If the mother is in custody with an infant below or upto the age of 6 years then the Court may allow the child to accompany the mother in custody. In the event either of the parents are arrested, then the custody will be granted to the parent who is not arrested; if both the parents are under arrest, then the custody shall be given to their close relative or government shelter home as per the provisions of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the foreign national is an illegal immigrant who has been involved in a criminal offence under any law other than the Foreigners Act, 1946, then the Centre and State Governments shall take immediate actions with proper application of their mind. In case, the offences committed are not heinous in nature, then the Governments may withdraw those cases under Section 321 of CrPC and start the deportation process as soon as possible. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s1\">[ Babul Khan v.
