The Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench held an in-chamber hearing in the alleged dual citizenship case involving Rahul Gandhi, calling it sensitive. The court scheduled April 15 hearing while examining a plea challenging refusal to register an FIR.
The Delhi High Court rejected a plea for dual citizenship for Indians abroad, stating that this decision falls under Parliament’s jurisdiction. The court recognized the national security implications and emphasized that only Parliament can decide on this matter. The existing legal framework does not support dual citizenship, and Indians can only obtain Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status, not dual citizenship.
