Supreme Court Seeks Replies on Appeals for Assam NRC Exclusions
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre, Assam government, and other respondents on a petition filed by the Assam State Jamiat Ulama to initiate the appeals process for over 19 lakh people excluded from Assam's final National Register of Citizens (NRC) published in 2019. The petition highlights that the statutory appeal mechanism remains inactive, causing hardship for those excluded. The court has tagged this petition with a similar pending case and also considered requests to issue national identity cards to those included in the NRC under the Citizenship Act.
