Indian Citizenship Should Not Be Doubted Due To Minor Variations In Name Spellings In Electoral Rolls Or Govt Records: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court emphasized that minor variations in name spellings across electoral rolls or government records should not cast doubt on Indian citizenship. It ruled that discrepancies in name spellings are common and do not necessarily indicate fraudulent intent. The judgment underscores the need for flexibility in administrative procedures to accommodate such variations without questioning citizenship status based solely on these discrepancies.
