Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: If this is the way Vice Chancellors are appointed, I shudder to think what will happen in future

CJI Gavai: Rather than prelude tell us your arguments.

[WV Migrant Workers Welfare Board vs Union]

Adv Prashant Bhushan: Authorities are randomly picking up Bengali Muslims claiming them to be Bangladeshis and when it is verified it is seen they are Indians. Some were deported and then it was verified and then taken back.

Justice Kant: But they were owned by the state and state said they belong to the state.

Bhushan: Here Delhi police says documents are in Bangladeshi language. What is that? It is Bangla. So what ?

Justice Kant: suppose someone comes to Delhi... And has document in Bangla. Suppose now it has to be verified..

Bhushan: But how can they be detained. Let them verify.

#SupremeCourtImage
Justice Joymalya Bagchi: on migrant labours isn't there a system in place to check the place of origin of such workers and the verify the same

Justice Kant: a nodal agency is needed to coordinate between state of origin and the state where they are earning livelihood.

Bhushan: But what they are doing is detaining the persons when being verified.. this is panic among bengali Muslims

Justice Bagchi: this is a serious issue of mass migration. Here the workers are from eastern part coming to North and work. The nodal agency can coordinate .

Bhushan: some are even being tortured in such detention centres. Even foreigners act does not give authority for this even if someone is termed a foreigner.
Justice Kant: Issue notice

Bhushan: In the meantime please say that in case verifying
It is fine but no detention

Justice Kant: We cannot overlook ground realities...Suppose someone is Infiltrator and he enters illegally. How to deal with that situation. If you don't detain..the writing on the wall is that they will disappear. Yes some mechanism needs to be there. .. may be some card from place of origin and authorities from other state can accept the bona fide
