A day labourer from Guwahati who submitted 15 documents, including National Register of Citizens records, decades of voter lists, and land purchase papers, has failed to prove his Indian citizenship before the Gauhati High Court, reports ET Bureau.
A bench of Justices Kalyan Rai Surana and Shamima Jahan, hearing the case on 30 June, held that despite the volume of documents submitted, the petitioner Aminul Hoque had not been able to discharge the burden placed on him under Section 9 of the Foreigners Act, 1946.
