Title 1. Why does Assam need more Foreigners Tribunals? (The Hindu, Page – 14)
Syllabus Mains: GS Paper 2 under Polity & Governance
Theme Foreigners Tribunal
Assam suffers from huge problem of illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
Now on directions of the Supreme Court, the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India, under the Union
Home Ministry, published the final draft list of the National Register of Citizens on July 30, 2018. NRC is meant to
segregate Indian citizens living in Assam, from those who had illegally entered the Assam from Bangladesh after
March 25, 1971.
However, nearly 40 lakh people were excluded from the final draft. In the course of the year, 36 lakh people filed
claims against the exclusion; the remaining four lakh did not apply. These claims which are filed are heard by the
Foreigners Tribunal. 100 Foreigners Tribunals currently exist across across the State.
Now, final list of NRC is to be published by July 31 and to give a proper hearing to those excluded from the final
list and to handle the influx of applications, the Ministry of Home Affairs sanctioned 1,000 additional F.T. to be
setup in Assam. Of these, 400 will come up in the next one month before the final publication of the list.
FT is headed by a member appointed under the Foreigners Tribunal Act, 1941 and Foreigners (Tribunal) Order,
1984. Specific guidelines are issued by the government from time to time. A member can be a retired judicial
officer of the Assam Judicial Service, a retired civil servant not below the rank of Secretary and Additional
Secretary with judicial experience, or a practising advocate not below the age of 35 years and with at least seven
years of practice. The member is also required to have a fair knowledge of the official languages of Assam
(Assamese, Bengali, Bodo and English) and the State’s historical background giving rise to the foreigners’ issue.
The Assam Police Border Organisation, a wing of the State police tasked with detecting foreigners, readies the
cases for the tribunals to decide who is a foreigner and who is not.
Foreigners (Tribunals) Amd. Order, 2019 empowers district magistrates in all States/UTs to set up tribunals.
