Supreme Court Cites CAA While Granting Relief To Person Who Migrated From East Pakistan In 1969

The Supreme Court granted relief to a person who migrated from East Pakistan in 1969 by citing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The case centered on a petition where the migrant, who had faced issues related to citizenship status, sought relief. The Court noted that the CAA provides expedited citizenship for non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. The petitioner, having migrated in 1969, was granted relief based on the provisions of the CAA. This decision illustrates the Court’s application of the CAA to individuals in similar situations, offering them citizenship benefits.
