Externment orders must follow due process of law as they keep persons away from family and place: HC

The High Court of Karnataka has said that authorities must adhere to the provisions of the Karnataka Police Act while passing the order of externment against a person as externment has serious consequences and keeps away a person from his family and place.

The court also said that a person, against whom an externment order is proposed by the authorities under the KP Act, is entitled to be represented by a legal practitioner for the purpose of tendering his explanation and examining the witnesses.

Justice Anil B. Katti made these observations while quashing the order of externment of one Kumar from Dharwad district to Gadag.
