Supreme Court Seeks Response on Plea Over Woman's Alleged Illegal Deportation to Bangladesh
The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Centre and Maharashtra authorities regarding a plea alleging that Sahida Fakir, a woman from West Bengal, was illegally detained in Mumbai and forcibly deported to Bangladesh without verification of her citizenship. The petition challenges the legality of the Standard Operating Procedure and Immigration Order that allow deportation without constitutional safeguards. Fakir's family asserts her Indian citizenship, supported by electoral records and identity documents, and links her deportation to recent electoral roll revisions in West Bengal. The court has sought the government's response.
