 this August gathering. I'll speak legal propositions in respect of preparation of NRC in the state of Assam. In 1951, NRC was prepared on executive instruction in the state of Assam while the census was carried out. But that could not be completed throughout the state of Assam. And recently in the year 2013 the Assam government led in the Assam assembly that NRC documents of 6 districts are not available. And water list of 1966 or 1971 of many more districts are not available. This NRC the term is being used as updation whereas the rule says about preparation. Because 1951 NRC is not completely available through the state of Assam then that cannot be updated. But rather it can be prepared raising 25th March 1971 as a guard update. The rule was framed in the year 2003 for preparation of NRIC national register of Indian citizens throughout the state of, throughout the country. But that rule provides for house to house enumeration. And in the year 2009 that rule was amended and rule 4A was added to the main rule. And a schedule was appended to this rules for special provision for preparation of NRC in the state of Assam. The schedule says that the NRC will be prepared in the state of Assam containing the names of those who are having their names in the NRC of 1951. Or any of the electoral rules after 1971 and their descendants. Rather we can say this NRC national register of citizens within bracket descended by descent. Because the persons who acquired citizenship by otherwise by following due process of law whether it is registration or whatever may be after 1971 they are not entitled to enlist in this NRC. This issue of applicability of section 3 of the citizenship act that is citizenship by barb is not also considered for this NRC process. Recently Honourable Supreme Court referred this matter whether section 3A1 that is by birth of 1987 would be applicable in this process or not. Or those who claim citizenship on the strength of that very provision of citizenship act will be entitled to include their names in the NRC or not. Is referred to the constitution bench on 13th August 2019. The NRC process while this process started as a pilot project in the year 2010. There was recent man amongst some section of people in respect of this process and application forms and procedure. Then in the year 2010 Assam government constituted a cabinet subcommittee for discussing the issues with all stakeholders of the state. And prepare a modalities and SOP standard operating procedure how to prepare the NRC in the state of Assam. Then it was unanimously decided that the NRC would be prepared on the basis of these two documents and 13 documents other documents were added to these two documents which are mentioned in the rules. This process started the verification process that is official verification report of the documents which were submitted that backend report was called for. And two types of documents were used for this inclusion in the NRC. One kind of document that is prior to 1971 that is called legacy data or legacy document. And another kind of document that is linkage document to link with that very person legacy data holder by the descendant. Now after this publication of final NRC which cushion arises that is the person will have to approach the furnace tribunal as per paragraph 8 of the schedule that has happened with the rules. The paragraph 8 says that the persons who are not satisfied with the outcome of claim and objections. They may prefer an appeal before the designated tribunal constituted under order 1964. The designated tribunal might have been something different from the furnace tribunal because this appeal right to appeal is a continuous process of NRC, NRC process. This is not different from and when a person is referred to the furnace tribunal he has to produce his certified copies of documents and he has to produce the continuation of his presence in India or in the state of Assam. But in case of NRC the person was or rather is required to produce two documents. There is one prior to 1971 another after 1971 only to link and this applicants were asked for submit their family tree. Family tree order we can say it a legacy tree. Mr. X is a legacy holder. A, B, C, D used his legacy. Every person has to submit was required to submit their family tree consisting the names of all persons who use this legacy data for cross checking the authenticity. Now in the furnace tribunal people are getting confused that if this appeals are virtually converted to reference then people will be at difficult because certified copies of 1951 NRC are not supplied by the government. Yet judgment of one of the Guwahati High Court is there in 1976 that 1951 NRC is not a public document rather it can be said as a private document. That's why the people will not be able to get the certified copy of this 1951 NRC except the electoral rules of 1966 and 1971. Other documents, land document people may get the certified copy but other documents are there and those are not given certified copies but those documents were considered while carrying out the NRC process. And these designated tribunals rather these tribunals are now termed as furnace tribunal rather these tribunals could have been termed as citizenship tribunal because this process, entire process of NRC is being carried out under the citizenship act and rules frame they are under. Not under the furnace act or furnace tribunal order whatever may be. Then some legal questions comes up what happens on our Supreme Court in a case, individual case held that the person who have already approached the furnace tribunal and whatever may be the outcome, whether he has referred or he approached whatever may be the outcome he is declared Indian citizen or foreigner, he cannot approach the furnace tribunal again. Rejjudicator will apply for that. Some people who have already declared as Indian citizen under the IMD act or IMD tribunal and furnace tribunal they are left out of this final NRC. And now they are barred by this judgment. Rejjudicator will applicable. Where they will go? One class of people. And another category of persons the children born after 3rd December 2004. There was a modality for disposal of claims and objections of NRC process which was approved by the Honorable Supreme Court on 11th 2018. The model is closed, 4 subclose 9 says that if a child of 14 years or below the age and both the parents are qualified to be enlisted in the NRC, then the child should be included in the NRC on the basis of oral testimony of the parents. But such many more children are left out from the final NRC. The children are also required to approach the furnace tribunal. Virtually the children cannot move the furnace tribunal or designated tribunal, whatever may be the parent have to approach as a legal guidance or as a parent of that very child. Then we are thinking to move Honorable Fx Court for some mechanism for this 2 categories of people. Those who are now remedial less, rather we can say remedial less due to operation of law and procedure. Thank you very much.
