The Supreme Court has issued notices to the Central and Assam government regarding a plea challenging the recently notified citizenship amendment rules. The rules aim to regulate the process of granting citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. A lawyer representing petitioner Hiren Gohain, a respected intellectual from Assam, presented arguments to the bench consisting of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice JB Pardiwala. The petition asserts that the unchecked influx of illegal migrants into Assam has led to indigenous people becoming a minority in their own land.
