Question

Under law, Deportation refers to the forced removal of an individual from a country due to

• A. loss of Visa.
• B. violating its immigration laws or other legal grounds
• C. age of the person
• D. non-payment of taxes

Hint:

Deportation is an exercise of Sovereign Power. A country has the right to decide who stays within its borders based on its Immigration Laws.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Deportation (or expulsion) is an administrative or judicial act by a sovereign state. It involves the removal of a foreign national from the territory of that state and sending them back to their country of origin or a third country.

Step 1: Legal Grounds for Removal.
Deportation is typically triggered by a violation of the host country's domestic laws. While "loss of visa" (Option A) is a type of violation, it is a specific subset of the broader category. The legal standard for deportation is a violation of immigration laws or other serious criminal conduct. $\text{Action: Deportation} \longleftarrow \text{Cause: Violation of Immigration Laws}$

Step 2: Difference from Extradition.
It is important to distinguish deportation from "extradition."
• Extradition: Removing a person to another country to face trial for a specific crime committed there.
• Deportation: Removing a person because their presence in the current country is illegal or undesirable.

Step 3: Procedural Requirements.
Deportation usually involves a formal order from the government (like the Foreigners Regional Registration Office in India). The individual is typically barred from re-entering the country for a specific number of years. Final Answer: Option B
