Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Alleged Illegal Deportation of West Bengal Resident
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea alleging that a woman, a permanent resident of West Bengal with documented family ties dating back to 1952, was illegally deported to Bangladesh. The petition challenges her detention and removal under the 2025 Standard Operating Procedure on deportation and the Immigration and Foreigners Order, arguing she was lawfully present in India and that the removal lacked legal safeguards. The court has issued notice to the Centre and sought a response within four weeks.
