From the statement furnished by Mr M Bhagabati, learned Governme nt Advocate, it is distressing to note that in most cases, the declared foreigne r has been reported as untraced. 3 (three) Superintendents of Police (B) have no t submitted compliance report. Even in respect of those where reports have been submitted, barring two cases, in all the other cases, the declared foreigner has been shown as untraced . On the other hand, some of the Deputy Commissioners h ave deleted the names of the declared foreigners from the Voters’ List, whereas, no report has been received from 5 (five) Deputy Commissioners. In a few cases, it is stated that the declared foreigner belongs to another district. 5. This is very unfortunate. Sincere efforts should be made and con tinued to apprehend the declared foreigners so as to ensure their deportation fr om India. But irrespective of whether such declared foreigners could be apprehen ded or not, it is the duty of all concerned authorities including the Deputy Com missioners to strike off their names from the voters list, cancellation of voter identity card, ration card and such other documents so that such foreigners can not avail beneficial schemes meant for the citizens of the country. 6. Let a copy of this order be furnished to the Commissioner and Se cretary to the Govt. of Assam, Home and Political Department as well as to the A dditional Director General of Police (B), Assam through Mr M Bhagabati, learned Govt. Advocate, Assam, who shall take up the matter and ensure that the declared foreigners are apprehended and deported/pushed back from India besides ensuring that such foreigners are not in any position to avail any benefit of Government schemes. The authorities can prepare a data base of such declared foreigners an d, thereafter, monitor whether the consequential steps as indicated above have b een taken or not. 7. Since these cases have already been disposed of, these are not required to be further listed before the Court.
