‘Improper’: Jharkhand High Court slams civic body over sealing of Physics Wallah premises

‘Improper’: Jharkhand High Court slams civic body over sealing of Physics Wallah premises

Kenyan parliamentarian Abdirahman Bashir Shariff has been ordered by the High Court in Nairobi to return his passport, following allegations that he was deported back to Somalia. Justice Mburu directed the respondents to release Shariff's passport, CK114667, within 24 hours of the court's order. Shariff claims he was denied entry into Kenya and forced to return to Somalia, after arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport from Mogadishu on August 14, 2026.

He alleges that immigration officials questioned his Somali citizenship and detained him, preventing him from proceeding through immigration and removing his passport. Shariff's attorney argues that Shariff is a Kenyan citizen by birth, and the state had no legal authority to prevent his return to the country. The court order states that Shariff must return the passport or have it returned to him within 24 hours of the order being served.

The High Court has not yet made a final determination on Shariff's allegations or the constitutional issues raised in the petition.
