The Calcutta High Court offers hope to 'Bangladeshi' family facing citizenship crisis due to Aadhar deactivation by the Ministry of Home Affairs, raises vital citizenship verification issues.

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court has provided temporary relief to a family suspected of being Bangladeshi immigrants. They faced questions about their Indian citizenship via an official memorandum. The family challenged this, highlighting concerns about Aadhar deactivation possibly leading to loss of citizenship.

The petitioners filed a legal challenge against this memorandum, which alleged that they were not Indian citizens. This case has raised concerns about the potential de facto consequences of Aadhar deactivation, as it may lead to the termination of an individual's citizenship.

This decision by the Calcutta High Court reflects its concern for individuals facing citizenship challenges. The case brings attention to complexities in citizenship verification, particularly related to Aadhar cards. It may impact how authorities handle citizenship issues and protect individuals from citizenship loss due to Aadhar deactivation.
