Gauhati High Court Orders Tracing of Woman Expelled to Bangladesh by Assam Tribunal
The Gauhati High Court has directed the Ministry of External Affairs and Assam government to locate Mumtaz Begum, a woman expelled to Bangladesh after being declared a foreigner by a tribunal. Begum was taken into custody on May 30 and expelled about two weeks later without receiving a copy of the tribunal's order or an opportunity to challenge it. The court previously ordered the tribunal to reconsider its decision and awarded Begum compensation for the violation of deportation rules. The next hearing is set for November 6.
