The Gauhati High Court has directed the Assam government to consider providing formal training to members and superintendents of Foreigners’ Tribunals after observing that records in a case were maintained in a “haphazard manner.” The court, while hearing a writ petition filed by Gobinda Saha—who was declared an “illegal foreigner” by a tribunal in Nagaon—found several lapses in record-keeping, including mislabeling and overlapping of exhibits. Highlighting that such inefficiencies hinder fair proceedings and accurate judgments, the court recommended systematic training for tribunal personnel and ordered that its directive be circulated to all Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam. This move aims to address administrative challenges and ensure more effective and transparent functioning of the tribunals.
