JUDGMENT : A.M. Bujor Barua, J. 1. Heard Mr. H.R.A. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. AI Ali, learned counsel for the Election Commission of India and Mr. J Payeng, learned counsel for the State of Assam appearing for the Foreigners' Tribunal and Border Areas, Ms. A Verma, learned standing counsel for the authorities under the NRC as well as Ms. G. Sarma, learned counsel for the authorities under the Union of India. 2. On being referred by the Superintendent of Police (Border), Nagaon, F.T. Case No.31/2007 was registered before the Foreigners Tribunal, Nagaon. Although the report of the process server states that the notice was served on the petitioner but at the same time, it is taken note of that the left thumb impression contained in the report of the process server was of Abdul Hasim and not that of the petitioner. Although, it is stated that Abdul Hasim was the husband of the petitioner but to avoid of the confusion that had arisen as regards the service of notice, we deem it that the notice was not served as required under Rule 3(5) (f) of the Foreigners Tribunal Act, 1964, inasmuch as there is no material to indicate that Abdul Hasim whose LTI is available and Abdul Hasim, the husband of the petitioner are one and the same person. 3. Accordingly, the ex-parte order dated 01-02-2012 in F.T. Case No.31/2007 of the Foreigners Tribunal, Nagaon is set aside and the petitioner shall appear before the Foreigners Tribunal No.1, Nagaon on 06-03-2019 along with a copy of the written statement to be filed upon such appearance. The Tribunal shall adjudicate the reference within a period of 60 days thereafter. 4. In terms of the above, writ petition stands allowed to the extent indicated above.
