US EditionSupreme Court Declines Plea on Assam's Deportation Drive
- On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a petition submitted by the All B.T.C. Minority Students' Union that challenged Assam's deportation campaign in its border regions.
- The plea arose after the Assam government launched a sweeping and indiscriminate 'push back' policy detaining and deporting suspected foreigners without proper judicial oversight or nationality verification.
- The petition highlighted violations of constitutional rights and judicial precedents, pointing to deportations executed without tribunal orders, Ministry of External Affairs verification, or opportunities for appeal.
- On May 27, former teacher Khairul Islam and 13 others were forced into Bangladesh, and Assam's Chief Minister subsequently acknowledged that individuals identified as foreigners by tribunals had been sent back across the border.
- The Supreme Court declined to hear the plea concerning the Assam deportation operations and permitted the withdrawal of the petition, directing the petitioner to seek relief through the Gauhati High Court, thereby emphasizing procedural protocol while leaving the substantive issues unaddressed.
