SC grants Assam 2 weeks to respond to pleas by 5 women declared foreigners

The Supreme Court of India has given the Assam government two weeks to respond to pleas from five women who have been declared foreigners.

These women say they are not foreigners and have challenged the orders in court.

The Supreme Court has asked the Assam government to file its response within two weeks.

Two of the women are currently in detention, but the court has ordered that they should not be deported until the case is decided.

The court has also said that the process of deciding who is a foreigner must be fair and reasonable.

The case involves the Gauhati High Court, which had earlier rejected the women's pleas.
