 Why in news

  • The Supreme Court upheld Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, which is vital for determining citizenship and identifying foreigners in Assam.

  • This decision preserves the legal framework established by the Assam Accord, avoiding complications in citizenship status for many in Assam.

Historical Background and Legal Implications

  • Section 6A was introduced in 1985 as part of the Assam Accord, which aimed to address immigration issues from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

  • It grants deemed citizenship to those who entered Assam from East Pakistan before January 1, 1966.

  • For immigrants from January 1, 1966, to March 25, 1971, a registration system was established. 

  • They must be declared foreigners by a tribunal before applying for citizenship.

  • Those registered as citizens from this category cannot vote for 10 years after being identified as foreigners.

  • The Chief Justice emphasized balancing humanitarian concerns for immigrants with protecting Assam's cultural and political rights.

  • The Court rejected claims of unfair treatment, affirming Parliament's authority to create specific citizenship rules.

  • The ruling acknowledged demographic anxieties but argued such changes shouldn’t threaten the principle of fraternity.

  • With the National Register of Citizens unresolved, invalidating Section 6A would have led to further complications in citizenship verification.
