New Delhi: A day after the Supreme Court denied hearing the Centre and the state of Assam's case against postponing the release of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the home ministry informed the Rajya Sabha that it was contemplating pushing the 31 July deadline further to "maintain fairness" of procedure. We would like to ensure that there is no error in the final NRC list." We will make sure that all such immigrants are deported as per international law." The Centre and the State of Assam on Tuesday made an urgent mention before the Chief Justice of India for an extension of the deadline for the final publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) from July 31, 2019, to a “future date". The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is the list of Indian citizens of Assam.
