The Indian government informed the Supreme Court on Friday of its decision to repatriate individuals previously deported to Bangladesh, particularly focusing on Sunali Khatun and her child. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta explained that the government would assess their citizenship claims upon their return. This announcement follows a ruling by the Calcutta High Court, which deemed their deportation illegal and ordered their return within a month. The court criticized the government's rapid deportation process, stating it violated established protocols. The Supreme Court has set a follow-up hearing for July to further address this matter. Mehta noted that the repatriation could take 8-10 days. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of individuals suspected of being illegal immigrants, especially those from Bangladesh, and the legal frameworks governing their deportation. The court's humanitarian approach in allowing Khatun and her child to enter India underscores the complexities surrounding immigration and citizenship rights in the country.
