    Case Summary: W.P.(Crl.)/81/2025 - Farid Ali v. State of Assam Court Decision: The Gauhati High Court dismissed the writ petition. The court held that the government has absolute authority to expel declared foreign nationals regardless of extradition treaties, and that such individuals do not possess constitutional safeguards available to Indian citizens, including the right to be produced before a magistrate or notified to family. Key Facts: Petitioner's father, Md. Mahib Ali, was declared a foreigner by tribunal in 2012 and detained in May 2025. He was subsequently expelled to Bangladesh in late May 2025. The petitioner challenged the legality of custody and expulsion, alleging violation of Articles 21-22 of the Constitution. Reasoning: The court emphasized that declared foreign nationals have limited constitutional protections and that India's government possesses unfettered expulsion power under the Foreigners Act, 1946, independent of bilateral agreements with other nations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
