PoliticsCalcutta High Court Questions Bengal Govt on Exile Despite Aadhaar-Voter ID
The Calcutta High Court questioned the West Bengal government about people who came from the India-Bangladesh border in the 1970s. The court heard a case involving Sahidul Sheikh, detained and exiled as a Bangladeshi citizen. Justice Sougat Bhattacharya asked if it is practical to send all such people back and suggested visiting border districts to understand the ground reality. The court also questioned the basis for identifying Sheikh as Bangladeshi without due process.
