Overview
- The Calcutta High Court on September 26 set aside deportation orders and gave the Centre four weeks to bring the group back, directing coordination with the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
- The four‑week window ended on October 24 with no repatriation publicly confirmed and only limited contact reported by relatives.
- A Bangladesh court on October 3 recognised the six as Indian citizens and asked that the Indian High Commission arrange their return.
- The group includes pregnant Sunali Bibi, her husband Danish Sheikh and their 8‑year‑old child, along with Sweety Bibi and her two sons, who were detained in Delhi in June and pushed across the border.
- TMC leaders accused the BJP‑led Union government of failing to act on the order, while the families’ lawyer said next legal steps are being prepared.
