Assam government directed to provide ₹2 lakh compensation to family of deported woman
On Monday, the Gauhati High Court instructed the Assam administration to grant ₹2 lakh in compensation to the relatives of a woman who was sent back to Bangladesh. Her deportation occurred even though she had an active legal challenge against a Foreigners' Tribunal ruling that labeled her a foreign citizen. Additionally, the court directed the Ministry of External Affairs to track down the woman and facilitate her return to India.
