The petition was filed by Bhodu Sheikh, father of Sunali Bibi. He argued that the incident violated fundamental rights and endangered his daughter’s family.

A Division Bench of Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Justice Reetobrata Mitra heard the matter. The judges directed the Union Government to file a detailed affidavit. The Court said the Centre must reveal the designated places from which detainees were pushed back.

The Bench noted that the government’s affidavits did not disclose these details. Without this information, deciding on territorial jurisdiction is not possible at this stage. The Court stressed that life and liberty must remain the priority while examining the push back case.
