KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Thursday directed the Centre to produce the complete deportation documents of Suraj Lama, an Indian national who was deported from Kuwait and went missing soon after landing at Kochi airport.
A division bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice M.B. Snehalatha issued the directive while hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Lama’s son, who has alleged that his father disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
The court had earlier sought clarity on the standard protocol followed when a citizen is deported back to India.
Although the Deputy Solicitor General filed a statement, the bench expressed displeasure, remarking that the explanation "has more questions unanswered than answered".
The judges said they would not form any conclusion until all deportation papers are submitted.
