The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to reply to a petition claiming that a recent order permitting entry to persecuted religious minorities into India breaches the Assam Accord. The Accord establishes 1971 as the cutoff date for identifying illegal immigrants in the state.

The petition references provisions of the Assam Accord, aimed at regulating foreign nationals' entry in the northeastern state. The Centre has been asked to clarify its position.
