Long story short ... very close friend of mine got deported and banned from India.
Had family in India (was a foreign passport & PIO person of indian origin card holder ... a document that gives certain privileges on par with a citizen ...e.g. freedom to work ). No reason was given by immigration authorities, all documents were in order. Friend was returning from a short trip overseas, got bundled back on return flight. Eventually handed a refusal to land order which stated reason as entry banned into India. I have been trying to help, been navigating a rather bizarre chain of people going from immigration to home affairs ministry and external affairs ministry and so on. Got a very grim picture of the federal structure of indian bureaucracy and the total lack of checks and balances -- a small guy somewhere can pass an incorrect order and that travels up the chain and gets executed. To undo that you need to follow the whole chain by starting from the very top. Not for the faint hearted.
