Acting rights and member of the main group of the National Human Rights Commission warned officials in Arnacal Pradesh against a violation of the Supreme Court’s judgment of 1996 and seek to protect the rights of all chakma and hajongs living in the state since the age of 60.
The leaders and district judges in Arnacal Pradesh could face contempt by the court if they organized a meeting with representatives of all students ARUNACHAL PRADESH STUDENT ‘(AAPS) for the disputed edition of Chakma-Hajong, Suhas Chakma, and also the director of the Group for Rights and Risks in Delhi.
In July 3, the State Foreign Ministry called for a meeting with AAPS on Tuesday (July 8, 2025) a three-point agenda-deportation of illegal immigrants, review and rectification of voters/electoral roles and land records and encroachment Chakma-Hajong settlers.

In its judgment on 9 January 1996, the Top Court ordered the Government of Arnacal Pradesh to protect the life and personal freedom of every chakma and the hajong person who stayed in the state from organized groups, said Mr. Chakma. The Supreme Court also stated that the completed notifications issued by any group ‘equal to the threats of life and freedom’ of the communities concerned, ‘should be dealt with in accordance with the law’.
“Instead of compliance with this direction, the state government has become AAPSu part of government decision -making by inviting it to an official meeting that will be held on July 8. Nesty actor who was invited to the official decision -making meeting is unheard of and is not in the law,” Chakma said.
“It understands that a non -state actor acts as a complainant, judge, jury and execution. This is in the absolute violation of the basic principles of the rule of law, including Article 14 and 21 of the Indian Constitution, and most importantly, for omission of the 1996 court.
The activist of the rights also reminded the state government to the decision of the top court, which says that “while in the exercise of any individual chakma awaits”, the government of Arunacal Pradesh “does not move or removes the person concerned because he is not a citizen of India in this perspective”.
The Government of Arnacal Pradesh did not proceed with the only citizenship request, as the Supreme Court bought, Chakma said. “Instead, the government takes decisions to remove the chakma and hajongs from their profession and evict them,” he added.
The relocated dam and religious persecution in the former Eastern Pakistan, primarily Buddhist Chakmas and Hindu Hajongs were seated in several pockets ARUNACHAL PRADESH from 1964 to 1969. The final number of refugees was 14 888.
In September 2015, the Supreme Court sought citizenship for approximately 7,000 people from Chakma-Hajong, who were alive at the time.
