Tribunal grants 60 days to file documents, exceeding 10-day limit under Foreigners Tribunal Order

This is a final order by the Foreigners Tribunal No. 1, Bongaigaon, declaring a specific individual a foreigner and directing her detention and deportation. It matters to citizens as it illustrates the legal process and consequences of being declared a foreigner under the Foreigners Act, 1946, including removal from voter rolls and government schemes.

The order concerns Musstt. Adori Khatun (the Proceedee), the State of Assam (the Petitioner), and the Superintendent of Police (B), Bongaigaon, who is directed to enforce the order.

• The Tribunal declared Musstt. Adori Khatun a foreigner of the post-1971 stream.
• The Tribunal found that the Proceedee failed to discharge the mandatory burden of proving she is not a foreigner under Section 9 of the Foreigners Act, 1946, despite submitting photocopies of documents (NRC, voter lists, EPICs) but failing to produce originals or certified copies.
• The Superintendent of Police (B), Bongaigaon, is advised to apprehend the Proceedee and keep her in a Detention Camp until deportation or push-back.
• The Proceedee's name is directed to be deleted from all beneficial government schemes and all voter enrollments.
