The Supreme Court will examine the interpretation of India's citizenship law regarding children born in India to foreign nationals. The court issued a notice to the Union government concerning a petition filed by an 18-year-old born in Andhra Pradesh to US citizen parents residing in India as OCI cardholders. The petitioner, born in 2006, was denied Indian citizenship because her parents were foreign nationals at her birth, despite her being born and raised in India. The case questions whether such children can be considered 'persons of Indian origin' or granted citizenship by registration.
