The Assam Government may follow the 1950 order to quickly monitor the detection and deportation of “illegal immigrants” instead of undergoing a long legal process, the main Minister of Histant Bisw Sarma said on Saturday (June 7, 2025).
He said that illegal immigrants, as soon as they were found, have been pushed back since then, without passing their cases to the court for quasi-Sound foreigners (FT) or any court.
“The process of detection and deportation of foreigners staying illegal in Assam has been slowed down for exercise to update the National Citizens’ Register (NRC). Now we can push these people back without going through the courts,” the main minister told reporters in Ghagrapar in the Western Assam district.
Assam has 100 FTS, the first few were established in 2005 to decide the citizenship of people who were bounded by the border wing of Assam Police for suspicion that they were illegal immigrants, Eufemism for Bangladesh nationals allegedly illegally in the state.
Mr. Sarma said that the Supreme Court’s constitutional bench, while heard a case related to Article 6a of the 1955 Citizenship Act, said Assam does not have to direct cases of illegal immigrants through tribunals.
“The Supreme Court noted that the Old Testament, the order for the expulsion of immigrants (1950), remains valid. According to its provision, the district commissioner may also issue an order to illegal immigrants,” he said.
The main minister said that the state government, which was recently informed of this order, would be thoroughly carried out before the execution.
“We have already moved a large number of people, except for those who have ongoing court cases. The number of deported illegal immigrants is increasing and it will continue to be faster at a pace,” Sarma said.
