New Delhi, June 3 -- The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a petition challenging alleged deportations to Bangladesh of people other than 63 individuals identified as foreigners in Assam and directed the petitioner to approach the high court. "You take your recourse to approach the Gauhati high court. 63 persons are being deported. You go to the high court," said a bench of justices Sanjay Karol and SC Sharma, as it heard a student group's petition. The petition annexed press clippings showing people other than the 63 were being picked up and deported to Bangladesh. Senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, who represented the petitioner All BTC Minority Students Union (ABMSU), said the 63 were declared foreigners after the external affairs ministry and Bangladesh confirmed their nationality for deportations. "The action of deportation is based on a pending order," he said, referring to a February 4 Supreme Court order asking the Union and the Assam governments to deport the foreigners at an Assam detention centre by expediting the process of verification of their nationality with the external affairs ministry and Bangladesh. The court also scheduled for next week the hearing of a habeas corpus plea of a son seeking the whereabouts of his mother, claiming police picked her up for deportation to Bangladesh. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who appeared for the petitioner, said the alleged arrest was directly in viol- ation of the DK Basu guidelines of the Supreme Court on arrests. "They simply come and pick her up, and she is thrown out. She was out on bail by the order of this court since December 28, 2019." The court issued a notice to the Assam government after the petitioner said that his mother was detained at Dhubri police station since May 24, and he has no information whether she was deported. ABMSU has cited similar instances of deportation, citing newspaper reports....
