Calcutta HC orders repatriation of Bengali family deported to Bangladesh

The Calcutta High Court on Friday, September 26, struck down the deportation of a family from Bengal to Bangladesh and ordered its repatriation.

The court observed that the authorities deported the family in haste and without considering Constitutional



safeguards.

In a stern order, a division bench of Justices Reetobroto Kumar Mitra and Tapabrata Chakraborty directed the Union government to repatriate eight-month pregnant Sunali Khatun, her husband Danish Sekh, and their son within four weeks, coordinating with the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
