Child Cannot Be Left 'Stateless'; Even If Parents Give Up Indian Citizenship, Child Will Continue To Be Citizen: Bombay High Court

In a significant ruling, the Bombay High Court held that a child cannot be left stateless even if their parents renounce their Indian citizenship. The case involved a situation where parents giving up their Indian nationality might have left their child without citizenship. The Court ruled that the child would continue to retain Indian citizenship despite the parents' renunciation, ensuring protection against statelessness. This decision reinforces the principle that children must be safeguarded from losing their citizenship due to their parents' legal status changes.
