The Supreme Court on the 23rd July,2019 has extended the deadline to publish the final National Register of Citizens for the State of Assam from 31st July to 31st August , 2019. This decision was taken after request from the State National Register of Citizens Coordinator Prateek Hajela for extension on ground that progress of NRC Assam hit a roadblock due to the heavy floods in the State.
On the 19th of July, the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the State of Assam and the Centre submitted a re- verification sample of at least 20% of the people residing near the Bangladesh border to take care of wrongful inclusions and exclusions.
However, the Supreme Court Bench consisting of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice R.F Nariman has held that such re verification won’t be necessary.
