Gauhati High Court Seeks Timeline on Nagaon Tribunal Orders in Women's Deportation Cases
The Gauhati High Court has asked the Assam government to provide the timeline for when the Nagaon Foreigners' Tribunal issued opinions declaring Jahanara Begum and Mumtaz Begum as foreigners. The court warned it may presume the opinions were not timely prepared if details are not provided. Both women were deported to Bangladesh while their legal challenges were pending, and their current whereabouts remain unknown. The Ministry of External Affairs continues efforts to trace them and has requested more time for inquiries.
