Supreme Court Grants Assam Government Two Weeks to Respond in Foreigners' Cases
The Supreme Court has granted the Assam government two weeks to respond to petitions challenging orders that declared five women as foreigners who allegedly entered India illegally from Bangladesh. The court had earlier stayed their deportation and emphasized that citizenship status must be determined through a fair, lawful, and reasoned process. The petitions contest Gauhati High Court rulings that upheld Foreigners Tribunals' decisions. The Assam government sought additional time to file counter-affidavits, which was granted.
