Notes

  • Biswanath district administration in Assam ordered the deportation of a declared foreigner, Kayam Ansari, under the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950.
  • The order followed a report by the Superintendent of Police (Border) confirming the individual was adjudged a foreigner of Bangladeshi nationality by a Foreigners' Tribunal in 2008.
  • The individual was held at the Matia Transit Camp in Goalpara district since May 2025.
  • The deportation order specified that no legal proceedings or writ petitions were pending, removing legal impediments to the expulsion.
  • Failure to comply with the 24-hour deadline for departure results in forceful deportation under the law.
