ANWAR vs THE STATE OF J. & K.

The Supreme Court held that the petitioner, a Pakistani national, was not entitled to fundamental rights under Article 19 of the Constitution as he was a foreigner and had entered India illegally. The Court ruled that his detention for the purpose of deportation was lawful under Section 3(2) of the Foreigners Act, and that the State Government had the authority to issue the deportation order. Consequently, the petition for habeas corpus was dismissed, affirming that the restraint on his liberty was not illegal given the statutory provisions governing foreigners.
