HC orders repatriation of Birbhum residents from Bangladesh
The Statesman Kolkata
|September 27, 2025
In a blow to the Centre’s purported drive against Bengali-speaking migrant workers, branding them as Bangladeshi infiltrators, Calcutta High Court today faulted the Centre in connection with the deportation of Sunali Khatoon, a resident of Birbhum and five other members of the family, to Bangladesh and ordered the government to bring them back to Birbhum in four weeks' time.
The Division Bench of Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Justice Reetabroto Kumar Mitra of Calcutta High Court today in a ruling ordered the Centre to take steps to repatriate the six members of the deported family from Bangladesh in four weeks, while it rejected the prayer of the Central government to keep the case in abeyance for the time being.
The case pertained to Delhi Police deporting Sunali Bibi, a resident of Paikar, Birbhum, along with her husband and children to Bangladesh, allegedly because they spoke Bengali, without verifying their documents properly or crosschecking their citizenship with the West Bengal government.
