BENGALURU: Dror Shlomo Goldstein, estranged husband of Russian woman Nina Kutina who was rescued with her two minor children from a cave near Gokarna in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, has moved the Karnataka High Court seeking directions to the Centre not to proceed with the deportation of his minor daughters to any other country. Goldstein, an Israeli national presently residing in Bengaluru, through his counsel, made a submission before the court that sudden deportation would render the relief sought in the petition infructuous. Therefore, it is necessary to pass an interim order staying deportation, he said.However, Arvind Kamath, Additional Solicitor General of India, appearing for the Indian government and the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), submitted that Ama Kutina does not possess any travel documents.In light of this, for the present, the apprehension of Goldstein regarding deportation is not reasonable, he said. The question of deportation would be considered only after any stand is taken regarding travel documents of Ama Kutina, Kamath told the court.
