Supreme Court reverses Assam resident Rahim Ali's foreigner declaration, citing "grave miscarriage of justice."

The Supreme Court restored the Indian citizenship of Assam resident Rahim Ali, who was wrongfully declared a foreigner by a Foreigner's Tribunal 12 years ago. The court called this a "grave miscarriage of justice" and criticized the manner in which citizenship proceedings were initiated against him. This decision could have implications for other similar cases in Assam's Foreigners Tribunals.
