In view of the floods in Assam, Supreme Court on July 23 extended the deadline for publication of the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) on July 31, reports Assam Tribune. However, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi and comprising Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman rejected the pleas seeking permission for 20 per cent sample reverification. The Centre and the Assam government sought permission for sample reverification to find out wrongful inclusions and exclusions of persons in the NRC.
