The Gauhati High Court is hearing a significant matter in which it is examining the rights available to a declared foreigner or illegal migrant in India before their deportation.
The court said Section 3(2)(e) of the Foreigners Act requires that the central government may have to frame an order to specify where the declared foreigner will reside since they can’t have property.
On question of education, the court said it can be given to these category of people and “if they are good asset to country, use them also”.
The court questioned how such persons can be “arrested” when the process of deportation has “actively” not been initiated.
DSG Choudhury said once declared foreigner, they would not be entitled to welfare schemes meant for the citizens. “These schemes relate to the citizens only…,” he said.
The court adjourned the case to May 02 and said that matter will be heard day-to-day.
