Kerala High Court Upholds Visa Suspension for Pakistani Spouse of Indian Citizen
The Kerala High Court ruled that marriage to an Indian citizen does not grant a foreign national an automatic right to an Indian visa. The court dismissed a petition by a Pakistani woman married to an Indian man seeking a visa to attend a wedding, citing national security and sovereign authority over visa issuance. The Centre highlighted that visa services for Pakistani nationals remain suspended following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, and no procedure currently exists for processing such visa applications.
