The Court noted that, "We feel that it is absolutely essential to maintain and upkeep the Detention Centre in a good condition because the foreign nationals are being housed therein."
"Pursuant to being released and deported to their respective countries, they would carry impression regarding the conditions of the institution where they are housed till the date of their deportation," the Court noted.
The Court, henceforth, directed that the Secretary, Department of Home, Government of Rajasthan ensured that all required logistics and repairs, etc. of the Detention Centre were catered to immediately.
