Centre Tells Supreme Court Nationality Verification Required Before Deporting Foreign Nationals
The Centre informed the Supreme Court that foreign nationals cannot be deported without verification of their nationality and acceptance by their home country. Deportation requires possession of valid travel documents and completion of legal proceedings, with no pending criminal cases. This submission, made by the Ministry of Home Affairs in an affidavit, addresses a plea challenging indefinite detention of persons declared foreigners in Assam without deportation prospects. The Centre emphasized that nationality verification is essential before initiating deportation procedures.
