Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Guwahati High Court's decision which upheld the Foreigner's Tribunal's order declaring the appellant an illegal migrant. The court found that the notice was properly served as per the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964, and emphasized that the burden of proof regarding citizenship lies with the appellant. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, affirming the lower court's ruling.
