plea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Supreme Court today took a strong note to the submission seeking adjournment of hearing in a 27-year-old lawsuit filed by Assam in its decades-long border dispute with Nagaland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The issue is of demarcation of boundary and this is going on for last 30 years&#8230; We make it clear that no further adjournment will be granted to defendant (Nagaland) for examining the witnesses,&#8221; a bench of justices T S Thakur and R Banumathi said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench then adjourned the hearing in the 1988 civil suit till September 7 on the plea of newly-appointed advocate general of Nagaland that he needed time to go through the paper book of the case.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Supreme Court Registrar (Judicial) Rachna Gupta, in pursuance of court&#8217;s order, conducted the proceedings in which both the states have either &#8220;admitted or denied&#8221; the documents produced by them in support of their claims and counter claims.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the court had said that the border dispute between Assam and Nagaland could be resolved either by deciding the law suit or by referring it for arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>The court had then asked the counsel for Assam, which had filed the suit in 1988 seeking relief including demarcation of its over 500-km-long border with Nagaland, to file the list of its witnesses along with their testimonies in the form of affidavits with the apex court registrar within three months.<\/p>\n<p>Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the Centre, had referred to a report of the Surveyor General of India (SGI) and said the Assam-Nagaland border cannot be demarcated as the SGI maps have not been authenticated on the ground by both the state governments.<\/p>\n<p>Assam and Nagaland share boundary and the border dispute dates back to 1963 when Nagaland was carved out of Assam&#8217;s Naga Hills district.<\/p>\n<p>Nagaland has been demanding some portions that it believes &#8220;historically&#8221; belong to it and seeks &#8220;restoration&#8221; of all Naga territories.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Assam government wants to maintain the boundary which had been decided on December 1, 1963 when Nagaland was created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today took a strong note to the submission seeking adjournment of hearing in a
