KOLKATA: The Calcutta high court on Thursday directed the Centre not to deport Polish student Kamil Siedcynski till March 18, when it will decide whether his petition against the ‘Leave India’ notice issued is sustainable.

Siedcynski, a PG student at the Jadavpur University, was served the deportation notice dated February 14 by the Foreigner Regional Registration Office after he allegedly participated in anti-CAA events.

On a plea by advocate Phiroze Edulji , who appeared for the Union of India against Siedcynski’s petition, Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya made it clear that the merit of the case is yet to be decided. This means that it is still unclear whether the petition is maintainable.
