The Centre and Assam government have moved the Supreme Court seeking extension of the 31 July deadline for completing the National Register of Citizens (NRC), with the top court reportedly refusing urgent listing of the plea and saying it will examine the petition.
The top court is monitoring the exercise of finalisation of Assam NRC and has fixed the deadline of 31 July for it.
On Monday, 15 July, the Supreme Court had asked the Centre to reply to a plea which has alleged that the Foreigners (Tribunals) Amendment Order 2019 procedures, dealing with the appeals of those who would be left out in Assam NRC, are violative of the fundamental rights.
