Ministry of Home Affairs filed affidavit in Supreme Court on deportation policy
GK and monthly revision
Foreign citizen cannot be deported unless home country confirms nationality: Centre to SC
The Ministry of Home Affairs informed the Supreme Court via affidavit that a foreign citizen cannot be deported unless their home country confirms nationality. This submission came in a plea challenging indefinite detention of persons declared foreigners in Assam without deportation prospects. The Centre's stance highlights procedural constraints in deportation and underscores the legal limbo of stateless individuals. This is critical for polity, governance, and internal security topics in competitive exams.
