The Calcutta High Court on Friday, September 26, struck down the deportation of a family from Bengal to Bangladesh and ordered its repatriation.
The court observed that the authorities deported the family in haste and without considering Constitutional
safeguards.
In a stern order, a division bench of Justices Reetobroto Kumar Mitra and Tapabrata Chakraborty directed the Union government to repatriate eight-month pregnant Sunali Khatun, her husband Danish Sekh, and their son within four weeks, coordinating with the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
