Gauhati High Court Upholds Foreigners' Tribunal Order Rejecting Woman's Citizenship Plea
The Gauhati High Court dismissed Mustt Hasena Bhanu's challenge to a 2017 Foreigners' Tribunal order declaring her a foreigner who entered India after March 25, 1971. The court emphasized that sympathy cannot be misapplied in cases involving illegal migrants and that the country's interest is paramount. Bhanu failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to establish her citizenship or family links, leading the court to uphold the tribunal's decision.
