Today, On 14th November, The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the MEA and MHA on Professor Ashok Swain’s plea challenging his blacklisting from entering India. The Sweden-based academic argues that the government’s decision violates legal principles and constitutional protections.
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.
