S BISWAS, GA, ASSAM,ASSTT. S.G.I.,MR. D SAIKIA,MR. S C BISWAS Page No.# 3/5 BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MICHAEL ZOTHANKHUMA HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE N. UNNI KRISHNAN NAIR ORDER 03.12.2025 (M. Zothankhuma, J) Heard Mr. S. Difusa, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. D. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. S.C. Biswas, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Railways and Mr. R.K.D. Choudhury, learned Dy. S.G.I. appears on behalf of the respondent Nos.1, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 14. 2. The petitioner’s case is that the respondents have failed to protect and promote the cultural, social and linguistic identity of the Assamese people or to safeguard the economic development of the state, for which the Assam Accord has to be implemented in right earnest. The petitioner is also concerned with the insignificant number of deportations and the continued stay of illegal migrants in the state of Assam. 3. The petitioner’s prayer is for implementation of Clause 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 & 5.5 of the Assam Accord. The prayer No.3 of the petitioner for declaring the proposed bill for regularization of the foreigners of Hindu religion, who have migrated into India till 2016 as illegal null and void has apparently become infructuous, in view of the coming into force of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019. 4. It is an admitted fact on the part of the parties that similar matters are Page No.# 4/5 pending disposal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and that vide various orders passed by this Court on 24/04/2017, 09/08/2017, 15/09/2017, 30/10/2017 till 03/05/2024, this Court had adjourned the matter, awaiting the verdict of the Supreme Court. 5. The orders dated 24/04/2017 and 03/05/2024 are reproduced herein below, as follows :- “24.04.2017 Mr. D Choudhury and Mr. SN Krishnatraya, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. D Saikia, learned Advocate General, Assam and Mr. SC Keyal, learned Assistant Solicitor General of India for the respondents. Mr SC Keyal, learned Assistant Solicitor General of India states that some issues raised in the petition are already under consideration before the Supreme Court and, therefore, awaiting decision of the Supreme Court, the case be listed after three months. Prayer allowed. List the case after three months.” “03.05.2024 As per the order dated 05.02.2024, the controversy involved in this PIL petition is also pending consideration before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and, hence, the matter is adjourned awaiting verdict of the Hon'ble Supreme Court on the similar point.” Page No.# 5/5 6. As the Supreme Court has apparently not decided the issues till today, which are also agitated in the present case, we are of the view that the present PIL should be closed awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. Accordingly, we close the PIL awaiting the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. JUDGE JUDGE Comparing Assistant
