Guwahati: The Gauhati High Court has set aside an order of a Foreigners' Tribunal declaring a state resident a "foreigner" for not showing linkage with all his relatives mentioned in the voters' list even after he had established his linkage with his father and grandfather.
A High Court official on Tuesday said that Haidar Ali, through various documents, had established his relation with his father, Harmuz Ali and grandfather, Nadu Miya, whose names were enrolled in the voters' lists of 1965 and 1970.
