NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India made it clear that a Foreigners Tribunal does not have the power to review its own decisions. The case involved a woman from Assam, Rejia Khatun, who had already been declared an Indian citizen by a Foreigners Tribunal. However, a fresh reference was made in 2019, leading to a second contradictory order. The Supreme Court set aside this review order and also struck down the Gauhati High Court ruling that had upheld it.
