Madras High Court Registry lodges police complaint for forging its proceedings to get Bangladesh nationals deported
Justice V. Lakshminarayanan has directed the police to investigate the matter and submit a status report by November 10, 2026
The Madras High Court Registry has filed a police complaint in Chennai regarding forged proceedings that led to the deportation of five Bangladesh nationals. Appearing before Justice V. Lakshminarayanan, the High Court’s counsel S. John Raja Singh informed the court that a complaint was lodged with the Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police on October 6, 2026, in compliance with court orders.
The petitioners, Bilal alias Mohammed Bilal Syed, Y. Salim, and Bimal Sutrada alias Laxman Das, had filed separate writ petitions in the High Court demanding the deportation of the five individuals to Bangladesh. They presented copies of purported official proceedings from the Registrar (Judicial) of the High Court, dated October 8, 2025, granting clearance for their deportation.
Upon discovering the forged documents, Justice Lakshminarayanan ordered the High Court Registry to verify the authenticity of the proceedings. The Registrar (Judicial) submitted a report on September 8, 2026, confirming the documents as forged. The Central government standing counsel, M.P. Jaisha, representing the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), stated that a similar complaint had been lodged with the Central Crime Branch police in 2025. The judge has requested a status report from the police by November 10, 2026.
