Explanation:

The Foreigners Act 1946 is an Indian law that regulates the entry, stay and exit of foreigners in India. It has undergone several modifications over the years to keep up with changing geopolitical and socioeconomic conditions.

Here are two important features of the Foreigners Act 1946:

  • The Act empowers the central government to regulate the entry, stay and exit of foreign nationals in India. It regulates the registration and documentation of aliens and determines the circumstances under which they can be expelled from the country. The law also defines the procedures for issuing visas and permits to foreigners and sets out the legal obligations of foreigners residing in India.
  • The Law provides for the establishment of Foreigners Act Courts to decide matters related to the entry, stay and departure of aliens in India. These courts have the power to determine the nationality of foreign nationals and may order their expulsion from the country if they are found to have entered or stayed in India illegally. The law also provides for the creation of courts of appeal for appeals against judgments of the immigration courts.
