Foreigners Tribunals
Foreigners Tribunals are the quasi-judicial bodies responsible for hearing cases with respect to foreigners/non-citizens/D-voters under the Foreigners Act, 1946. There are three ways in which people end up before a Foreigners' Tribunal; the Election Commission marks them Doubtful Voter (D-Voter), the Border Police designates them Suspected Foreigner and refers them to a Foreigners' Tribunal, and now after being excluded from the NRC people are required to defend their Indian citizenship before a Foreigners' Tribunal. 2,98,471 FT cases are disposed off by FT & 1,36,173 are pending in FT as on 30-04-2021

HELP US DO MORE
Our inspiring achievement of releasing 52 detainees in 18 months needs to reach its logical conclusion, so that a cruel system does not deal them another body blow. Today they are only out on bail even though their documents were in order and yet they were cruelly incarcerated. Now that we have them out on bail, we will work tirelessly to get them formally declared Indian.
We are also committed to multiplying our efforts across many districts in Assam, ensuring the CJP experience with positive legal and paralegal interventions gets replicated so that thousands of victims of the Citizenship Crisis in Assam are benefitted, sooner than later. For this we need you more than ever!
