The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the central government and officials in Maharashtra following the deportation of a woman to Bangladesh. The notice comes after a petition filed by the woman’s son, who claims that there was no fair examination of her nationality and that she was not given a chance to establish her Indian citizenship. The petition argues that the deportation process violated due process principles.
In the notice, the court requests information on the procedures followed by the authorities and the evidence that led to the decision to send the woman back to Bangladesh. It also asks for details on any safeguards that were or were not put in place to protect the individual's rights.
The case highlights the broader debate over immigration enforcement and border management in the state. The Supreme Court’s involvement signals the seriousness of the allegations and the need for transparent, lawful procedures in deportation cases.
