The Calcutta High Court has held that voter identity cards, Aadhaar and PAN cards are not sufficient evidence of Indian citizenship.
Voter identity cards, Aadhaar, and PAN cards are not definitive evidence of Indian citizenship, according to a division bench made up of Justices Debangsu Basak and Ajay Kumar Gupta.
Additionally, the court ruled that creating a bank account does not prove Indian citizenship on its own.
It said that a detainee has 60 days to prove their Indian citizenship under the circular.
According to the court, Nasir had not shown any documentation proving his citizenship as of the July 20 judgment date.
