Supreme Court Grants Assam Two Weeks to Respond to Foreigners Declaration Pleas
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 the state illegally from Bangladesh. The court had earlier stayed the deportation of two detained women and emphasized that citizenship status must be determined through a fair and lawful process. The petitions contest Gauhati High Court rulings that upheld decisions by Foreigners Tribunals declaring the women illegal migrants.
