The Supreme Court on Tuesday slammed the Assam government for keeping 63 persons, declared as foreigners, in detention centres "indefinitely". "Are you waiting for some muhurat (auspicious time)?" the apex court asked while ordering the state to start deporting these people within two weeks.
A bench of justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said once the detained persons are held to be foreigners, they should be deported immediately.
"You have refused to start deportation saying their addresses are not known. Why should it be our concern? You deport to their foreign country," the bech said, as per PTI.
