“This man doesn’t know what he is doing. He is signing on dotted lines. Mr. Chief Sec, you are in serious trouble. We are going to issue a notice to you for making slanderous statements against the Law.”
Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said “How do you expect SC to be a party to an order allowing those who have no right to remain in India to be allowed to do so on…Your Govt. has not succeeded in following Constitution & you expect SC to be a party to it. You are asking the SC to be a party to an illegal order. We will order departmental proceedings against you right now. You have no right to continue in office.”
“The foreigners who have completed five years in detention centers may be released subject to furnishing security of Rs. 5 lakh, verifying his address, biometric of his eyes etc”, said the Affidavit.
