The Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950

The Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, was enacted by the Indian Parliament to deal with the problem of illegal immigrants from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) who had migrated to Assam. The act empowers the Indian government to expel illegal immigrants from Assam. The act also specifies the procedure for identifying and expelling such immigrants. It defines an illegal immigrant as any person who has entered India after March 25, 1971, and who is not a citizen of India or who cannot prove that they are a citizen of India.
