Citizens for Justice and Peace, an NGO helmed by rights activist Teesta Setalvad, said on Sunday that those left out of the NRC should immediately get hold of a copy of the exclusion order, which would enable them to file appeals before tribunals in stipulated time.
The NGO also said that the nitty-gritty and modalities for filing the appeals were still awaited.
Every excluded person will need access to a "certified copy of the exclusion order and the list of documents submitted by them to the NRC authorities", CJP Secretary Teesta Setalvad said in a statement.
"We hope the authorities make the documents available at the earliest and clarify whether the deadline of 120 days starts after these documents are accessed," she pointed out.
The updated National Register of Citizens (NRC), which identifies bona fide Indian citizens in Assam, was published on Saturday.
