Supreme Court criticized the Assam government for submitting a "defective" affidavit regarding the detention of 270 foreigners at the Matia transit camp.
The affidavit didn't explain why these individuals were detained or the steps taken for their deportation, violating the court's previous orders.
The state counsel argued that parts of the affidavit were confidential (containing personal details of foreigners), but the court disagreed, questioning what was confidential.
The court directed the Assam State Legal Services Authority to conduct surprise checks on the Matia transit camp's conditions, including hygiene and food quality.
