ILLEGAL MIGRANTS (DETERMINATION BY TRIBUNALS) ACT, 1983
39 of 1983
25th December, 1983
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The influx of foreigners who illegally migrated into India across the borders of the sensitive eastern and north-eastern regions of the country and remained in the country poses a threat to the integrity and security of the said regions. A substantial number of such foreigners who migrated into India after the 25th day of March, 1971, have, by taking advantage of the circumstances of such migration and their ethnic similarities and other connections with the people of India, illegally remained in India without having in their possession lawful authority so to do. The continuance of these persons in India has given rise to serious problems. The clandestine manner in which these persons have been trying to pass off as citizens of India has rendered their detection difficult. After taking into account the need for their speedy detection the need for protection of genuine citizens of India and the interests of the general public, the President promulgated, on the 15th October, 1983, the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Ordinance, 1983, to provide for the establishment of Tribunals. 2. The Ordinance provided for the establishment of Tribunals for the determination, in a fair manner, of the question whether a person is an illegal migrant. The definition of "illegal migrant", as provided in the Ordinance, recognised the 25th March, 1971, as the cut offdate. The Ordinance also empowered the Central Government to make a reference to the Tribunal and also enabled private citizens to make applications to the Tribunal for determining the question whether any person is an illegal migrant as defined in the Ordinance. The Ordinance also made suitable provisions for appeal, barring the jurisdiction of civil courts, and expulsion of persons found to be illegal migrants. 3. The Bill seeks to replace the Ordinance. -Gaz. of Ind., 22-11-83, Pt.II, S. 2, Ext., P. 11 (No. 41). Act 24 of 1988- The Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Act, 1983 provides for the establishment of Tribunals for the determination, in a fair manner, of the question whether a person is an illegal migrant so as to enable the Central Government to expel illegal migrants from India. 2. Experience gained in the implementation of the Act has brought out the need for some amendments to the Act. This need also finds expression in clause 5.9 of the Assam Accord. 3. The Bill has been finalised after detailed discussions with the State Government of Assam. The bill provides, among other things, for the following, namely :- (i) reduction in the number of members of an Illegal Migrants (Determination) Tribunal from three to two; (ii) relaxation of the residence restriction and reduction of fee in case of private complaints; (iii) enabling any person living beyond the limits of the same police station to make an application to the Central Government for reference to a Tribunal; (iv) reduction in the minimum number of members of an Appellate Tribunal from three to two; (v) Omission of the existing provision relating to revision by High Court in view of the powers of the High Court under Articles 226and227of the Constitution; (vi) conferment of the powers on the Appellate Tribunal to exercise superintendence over all the Determination Tribunals in a State; (vii) empowering a police officer not below the rank of a Superintendent of Police to bind certain persons; (viii) providing for a minimum punishment for offences under the Act. 4. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects. -Gaz. of Ind., 26-11-87, Pt. II, S. 2, Ext., p. 6 (No. 56).
