NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said a foreigner should not be allowed to leave India if required to answer a criminal charge.
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said while granting bail to a foreign national, the court should issue a direction to the state or the prosecuting agency, to immediately inform about its order to the registration officer concerned under the Registration of Foreigners Rules, 1992.
"When a foreigner's presence is required in India to answer a criminal charge, permission to leave India must be refused. Under the Order (1948 order), the civil authority can impose restrictions on the movements of a foreigner," the bench said.
The bench said the registration officer should then communicate the bail order to all relevant agencies, including the civil authority.
