Gauhati High court sets aside order of a Foreigners’ Tribunal which declared Assistant Sub Inspector of BSF as foreigner

GUWAHATI: The Gauhati High court has set aside the order of a Foreigners’ Tribunal which declared Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) of Border Security Force (BSF) Muzibur Rahman as foreigner.

The High Court asked the Tribunal to dispose of the matter within two months’ time. The Foreigners’ Tribunal at Jorhat district in December last year declared Muzibur Rahman and his wife Georgina Begum as foreigners.

The divisional bench including Justice Monojit Bhuyan and Kalyan Rai Surana also remanded the case back to the foreigners’ Tribunal.


Rahman’s counsel, Nekibur Zaman said, “The Foreigners’ Tribunals at Jorhat had declared both the husband and wife as foreigners on December 21, 2018. We moved the high court against the Tribunal’s judgement and submitted our prayer with documentary evidence to prove that Rahman and his wife are Indian citizens”.
