Sen, J.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Meghalaya High Court: <\/strong>While disposing of a writ petition concerning the difficulties faced by the residents to get Domicile Certificate (DC) and Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC), A Single Judge Bench comprising of S.R. Sen, J. opined that <strong>\u201cNational Register of\u00a0 Citizens (NRC) process is defective as many foreigners became Indians and original Indians were left out.\u201d <\/strong>The \u201chorrific conditions\u201d in Detention Camps where NRC non-qualifiers are sent also found mention in the judgment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While dealing with the matter, the learned Judge laid focus on the plight of migrants in the State of Assam. He called out the history of formation of the State and the unfortunate partition and it\u2019s after effects on the society. Detailing the change of territories after partition and reposing confidence in idea of India the Judge mentioned, \u201c<strong>Pakistan declared themselves as an Islamic country and India since was divided on the basis of religion should have also been declared as a Hindu country but it remained as a secular country.\u201d <\/strong>In later part of his judgment, the Judge further mentions, <strong>\u201cI make it clear that nobody should try to make India as another Islamic country, otherwise it will be a dooms day for India and the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also requested the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Law Minister and the Members of Parliament to <strong>\u201cbring a law to allow the Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhist, Christians, Parsis, Khasis, Jainitias and Garos who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to live in this country peacefully and with full dignity without making any cut off year and be given citizenship without any question or production of any documents.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the same stroke the Judge made clear that, <strong>\u201cHowever am not against my Muslim brothers and sisters who are residing in India for generations and abiding Indian laws, they should also be allowed to live peacefully.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highlighting the need of a uniform law, he said, <strong>\u201cAnybody opposing the Indian Laws and constitution, they cannot be considered as citizens of the country.

Notifications issued by the Meghalaya Government were also brought to notice to the Court according to which for issuing of PRC, a person may be deemed to be a permanent resident if he continuously resides in the same place for not less than 12 years. This was in contravention of the guidelines passed by the Supreme Court and the High Court in earlier cases. Setting aside the notifications and following the case of <em>Rabbe Alam v.
