But he is not here. Should we issue a non-bailable warrant against him,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bench also observed that the state is dragging its feet in pursuing identification of migrants. After the conclusion of arguments, the CJI headed bench posted the matter for hearing on April 8, and directed Chief Secretary Kumar to be present in the court. Even during an earlier hearing, the Court had pulled up the Centre and Assam government over the deportation of illegal migrants from the state.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt has become a joke and you haven&#8217;t done anything,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court had also slammed Assam government for its laxity in acting against illegal migrants. Reprimanding the state government for inadequate functioning of foreigners\u2019 tribunals, the bench had asked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat the state has done to tackle this serious problem.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court was hearing a petition filed by social activist Harsh Mander, seeking the Court\u2019s direction for humane treatment to immigrants held in detention centres in the state. It also submitted that the immigrants should be treated as refugees, pending their repatriation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The matter will next be taken up on April 8.<\/p>\n<p
