Debendra, learned Deputy Advocate General assisted by Mr. Dimal Kumar Haobam, learned counsel, appears for the State respondents. The learned Deputy Advocate General would submit that the petitioners have not submitted the passports for consideration of their application for deportation to Myanmar and the learned DSGI appearing for the Central Government would also state that if the passports are available with the petitioners the same should be submitted to the State authority and the State authority shall consider and take appropriate decision to deport the petitioners to Myanmar. But, in the present case, since the passports are not submitted by the petitioners to the State authority, the State Government cannot consider the application for deportation of the petitioners to Myanmar.
