The petitioners – Parul Das and Gaurango Das had challenged the order dated 12.6.07 passed by the Foreigners Tribunal, Udalguri declaring them to be Bangladeshi nationals and Md Mukshed Ali had challenged to order of IMDT Tribunal and the Appellate Tribunal’s order whereby he was declared to be a Bangladeshi national.
Justice BK Sharma after hearing all the writ petitions dismissed them and upheld the judgment of Foreigners Tribunal, Udalguri and IMDT Tribunal orders. He observed, “it is irony of procedural practice being followed in this country that the Bangladeshi national was, after declaring him to be so, is roaming around in Indian soil freely even with right of franchise. Unless some strong action is taken in such a matter by powers that be, the fast changing demographic pattern of Assam reducing indigenous people to minority will attain its finality in near future.”
