'Detention Period Long Over': Calcutta High Court Allows Bangladeshi Woman To Be Repatriated By Air
Live LawThe Calcutta High Court on Thursday permitted the deportation of a Bangladeshi national back to her native country after taking into consideration that she had been languishing in a correctional home even after the completion of her detention period. Justice Debangsu Basak observed, "Since the petitioner is no longer required to be in custody in the correctional home of India and since the petitioner is a Bangladeshi National, it would be appropriate to permit the petitioner to be deported to her Nation forthwith. The Correctional Home at which the petitioner is presently located will take appropriate measures or steps for the purpose of deportation of petitioner forthwith." It ordered the Superintendent of the Correctional Home to depute appropriate police personnel to accompany the petitioner to the airport as she had expressed her desire to travel to Bangladesh by air.
