SC agrees to hear plea alleging woman ‘illegally’ deported to Bangladesh
New Delhi, Sep 17 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a plea filed by a son alleging his mother was “illegally deported” to Bangladesh despite being a permanent resident of West Bengal and her grandfather’s name figuring in the electoral roll of 1952.
A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued notice to the Centre and sought its response in four weeks.
Senior advocate S Muralidhar and advocate Prasanna S appeared for Sahin Akhtar, who also challenged his mother’s detention and forcible removal from India into Bangladesh.
