Delhi High Court Refuses To Entertain PIL For Dual Citizenship For Indian Diaspora

The Delhi High Court recently rejected a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking the recognition of dual citizenship for Indian citizens. The petitioner argued that allowing dual citizenship would benefit individuals with international ties and facilitate global mobility. However, the Court held that the Constitution of India only permits single citizenship and noted that any change would require legislative action rather than judicial intervention. The Court emphasized that the current legal framework does not support dual citizenship, and the PIL lacked sufficient grounds to warrant a change in the existing law.
