Set procedure to vet NRC claims: SC
News:
- Recently, the Supreme Court has directed authorities not to take any action against persons left out of the draft Assam National Register of Citizens (NRC) published on July 30.
Important facts:
2. The published draft has put question mark on the legal status of so many individuals.
3. The Bench ordered the government to frame a ‘fair’ standard operating procedure (SOP) to deal with the claims and objections of those who did not find their names in the draft NRC.
4. Attorney General K.K. Venugopal, pointed out that the government is developing biometrics so that even if a declared foreigner escapes to another State, he or she would be caught there.
5. Second and final draft of the NRC shows 2.9 crore names out of the total 3.29 crore who applied in Assam.
6. From Aug 8, those excluded from the list can approach the Local Registrar or the NRC Sewa Kendras to find out the reasons for their exclusion. Their claims and objections would be heard by Aug 30 to Sep 28.
