The Indian government has challenged a Calcutta High Court order in the Supreme Court to repatriate Sunali Khatun and five others from Bangladesh within four weeks. The families of these individuals were set to be returned by October 24 but remain stranded after the central government's appeal. Initially detained as suspected illegal immigrants, they were deported on June 26 and subsequently arrested in Bangladesh for illegal entry. The High Court criticized the government’s burden of proof under the Foreigners Act 1946 and ordered their return based on evidence that they are Indian nationals from Birbhum district. The case involves a pregnant woman and children who worked as ragpickers in New Delhi before being deported.
