Supreme Court Says Citizenship Can't Be Stripped Without a Fair Hearing — Quashes 27 Orders
The Hindu·Tuesday, 14 July 2026
The Supreme Court set aside 27 judgments from the Gauhati High Court that had declared individuals as foreign nationals. The court found that tribunals had acted mechanically without giving affected people a proper hearing. It directed tribunals to hold fresh hearings and reconsider all 27 cases.
Why It Matters
For people in Assam and the Northeast, being declared a 'foreigner' can mean detention and deportation. This ruling says that cannot happen without a fair process.
