So my lord my humble submission before your lordship I want protection since it is clearly stated my lord his brother cididence also in the judgment also it is reflected that the petitioner's father came from east Pakistan and due to religious a fear of religious persecution my lord so my lord I pray for protection under the immigration and foreigner act 19 2025 Five specifically my lord uh the orders that is exemption order my lord exemption that is >> foreigners act 19 2025 >> 25 and exemption immigration and foreigners exemption order 2025 Five.
>> What about the CA? You are not entitled to benefit of CA. My lord CA uh CA it is not applicable because my lord I I protection especially my lord under this act because this act given protection under original my lord act that is 19648 48 orders foreigners order 1948 order three capital a that is my lord after subsequently amended by this act immigration and foreigners exemption order 2025.
So my lord specifically my lord if is specifically exemption is given under that exemption order 2025 3 e order 3 e >> capital >> small my lord >> this is of new act new act >> new act under the new act and originally it was three capital a under the foreigners Order my lord.
>> Now it is >> now it is immigration and foreigners act 2025.
Now that is uh immigration and foreigners exemption order 2025.
>> Order E.
>> Order three is small E.
So my lord it is clearly stated uh that the provisions of subsection 1 2 and three of section three of the act means my lord this act immigration and foreigners act 2025 no present is an act or order 2025 is also order >> order. So that will not be act is something different. Uh following following the act I'm reading exemption order three book sorry we have I'm talking compilation.
24 US what is there Mr. P. What do you say? Go broadly.
>> By the 2025, the immigration and foreigners act or order >> exemption order.
>> Immigration 2025 was that on the basis of section 33 of the order immigration and foreigners and foreigners exemption exemption. Mhm.
That is probably my senior friendly order.
It is in fact one of this has been brought subsequent to car to facilitate the provision of car because here there is no provision of registration here in this but they are exempted.
They are accepted but they have to register under cards provision >> but that cannot be without any rigors.
>> Anyone and everyone cannot go and register himself.
>> Yes ma'am.
>> He has to fulfill the requirements >> requirement provided in the >> there are some provisions but that these documents must be there.
>> Mr. day is very is very candidly submitting that instead of pursuing the present challenge.
>> Yes, >> he would like uh if an he would be happy if an order is given there is no restriction as such for him to apply.
Yes, there is no restriction. Even pendency of this petition is not part for application under this >> then you can withdraw this or what >> my lord I am I press for exemption as >> understood. What about the challenge to the opinion dated 257 2018 that opinion is the subject matter of challenge.
So my I have stated in my petition my lord.
>> No that challenge what will happen to the challenge? Are we withdrawing the challenge or would you like ask to answer the challenge?
>> No my lord I I press for exemption >> that is a subsequent what about the challenge to the opinion? opinion declared you a foreigner.
>> My lord, >> if you can if you withdraw if you draw the challenge >> that opinion I have challenged because I have specifically mentioned in paragraph uh 27 my lord page 16 that it was the duty of the learned member tribunal to consider that aspect of the matter.
>> Mr. Today we have understood but there is an opinion against you declaring you to be a foreigner.
>> Yes, >> that is the subject matter of challenge.
>> Side by side you have stated that you may be entitled to some benefit under the 2025 act.
>> Yes.
>> So now we are required to pass final orders. We can we can we can pass orders on merits either accepting or declining to accept your prayers so far as the challenge is concerned. But irrespective of what we hold, you will always be entitled to apply under the 25 orders. So therefore we are asking you will you like to withdraw your challenge to the order in principle and we pass an order that uh this 25 orders 25 you'll be getting the benefit or would you like us to answer the challenge in on merits?
My lord on merit my lord on >> see priaside there there are no documents we can >> only document that his father was registered as a >> no that is so far as your >> claim under 2025 rules >> may may I pray my lord in this regard one judgment may I place one judgment of this honorable court what view has taken by that my lord judgment my lord my lord I I like to give the my lord uh citation my lord I could not got extra copies my lord that is supreme supreme today my lord uh supreme today 2022 supreme goati 1369 equivalent to 2022 forg 4 to6 >> 2020 >> 20 >> 2022 zero supreme Goarti 1369 page party name is Uttam >> and Union of India >> GLT citation >> GLT >> GLT GLT 2022 4G glT >> page >> page 426 Party's name is Utam Goss versus Union of India decided on my lord 236 2022 my lord in paragraph 56 57 58 59 60 I beg to refer my lord what is there my lord in paragraph 56 Six.
Apart from the importance attached to citizenship by the honorable Supreme Court as well as by the court this court as referred to above and in many other decisions of this court. What is important to be noted in this particular case is that procedi is claiming to be a son of a person who had taken refuge in this country after the independence on account of the religious persecution in the then east while Pakistan and who was granted Indian citizenship by way of registration in 1956 under section 51A of the citizenship The fact that many persons like the present >> today you have not understood us. We are not on the legality of the your of your prayer so far as consideration under the 2025 orders are concerned.
>> We are asking you a very pertinent question.
The there is an opinion against you.
Yes.
>> Declaring you to be a foreigner.
>> Now that opinion is the subject matter of challenge.
>> Challenge. You are you going to withdraw this challenge and have an order from us for consideration under 25 act >> or will you will you like us to answer the challenge also?
>> No, my submission is that I I was also raised this point before the tribunal that I have I have my father came because of religious >> what will happen to the >> that was not considered.
>> So what will happen to the aspect of the opinion which by which heed ground also my lord that opinion can be my lord decided because I have raised this point >> different point that we are considering we have said >> my lord >> so so for holding on marriage that you are not an Indian citizen then you can apply that's a different matter if you want us to answer the challenge we'll answer it or if you want to withdraw the repetitions you can pray for a liberty to apply under the 24 that part that are part of The opinion we can think we can say something.
>> My lord, kindly see the judgment. My lord, it is a page 52 my lord. Page 52 at the first beginning page 52 first paragraph.
My lord during clarification over this above statement he has stated that they have they came to India due to conflict between Hindus and Muslim. they are they they were retreat from east Pakistan out of fear. So my lord that point I have raised before the tribunal also and the land tribunal ought to have considered that consider that my lord uh by dent of the earlier 1948 act that was not considered that is my humble submission will the tribunal have the jurisdiction to decide a challenge on this ground or will it be before the appropriate authorities >> I leave your worship because it's true this you his protection under that means my sub >> who will determine whether you are entitled to that protection there's a particular authority >> my lord my >> is not the authority >> my submission is that my landed tribunal since the landed tribunal has not decided this point so your lordships may be decided on that point >> so Mr. There is no question of deciding us. These are questions of fact. There is a particular authority under the 25 act as well as the orders. You have to approach that authority for getting the benefit. That much liberty we can give it to you.
My lord question of registration under this exemption order so far I think my lord subject to your lordship's correction there is nothing about the registration if is exempted there is nothing to be no direction to register themselves >> because it is exempted that is suffici is so she may also be given that now as your pointed out rightly there is no link to show herself sex is the particular person now unless that is proved she will not get benefited by that is why could not have go to that aspect now this issue of coming in 2019 after that 2024 there is Stenc has specifically provided exemption as per the act they are exempted but how they will get the benefit the benefit how they will get that is given in the rules they have to apply before the central office for a long-term visa and until until and unless they >> which roles We we are to we have to see under under the order 25 order is not there specifically mentioned by it is exemption orders. No no no no I'm coming to that now the exemption has what exemption provided pilot I I would like to read I like to read that first of all the 2025 rule order exemption order has exempted the petitioner from three points of the act section three of the act we have to see the act what are exemption these are exempted from these three are exempted Section three of the immigrants and foreigner act 2025 >> act >> foreigners immigration and foreigners exemption order it >> they have to apply for which authority of central government >> which authority of central government >> concern they will have to apply there is a >> yes there is a committee the details procedure is there in 2024 rules matter car rules 2024 the detailed proced procedure is given now by the exemption order the person has been a person belonging to minority community of Afghanistan Bangladesh and Pakistan namely Hindu sik prison were compelled to seek shelter in India due to religious persecution for fear of religious persecution and entered to India on before 31st day of December without valid documents including the passport of travel documents or with valid documents including passport or other travel and validity of such documents have been expired they have been exempted prior to that the provision of subsection 1 2 3 of section three of the act and rules 789 of the rules with regard to the passport and other validity to traverse will not apply to this category of persons. So we have to see what is there in section one two subsection one and three of section three. What is there in section 3?
Section three of the act number one 31.
No persons proceeding from any place outside India shall enter or attempt to enter India by air, water or land unless his position of valid passport or other travel documents and is a case of foreigner. also a valid visa and for so they this provision no person will enter in India that is exempted they can enter due to this this category of person they can enter secondly not standing second provision not standing anything contained in the section 350 passport 1967 no person shall defer or attempt to depart from India by air water whatever movement so they can be deported from India India.
So that is second exemption. And the third exemption is the immigration officer may examine the passport or other travel documents and buy visa of foreigners during his entry into transit say stay within India and also require him to harness such information as may be necessary and appropriate. So they are exempted from doing this.
They Indian authority will not do all these things money under this exemption.
Now why K necessary? A person who came from is Pakistan or Bangladesh Afghanistan but he is Hindu sick and he has come due to religious persecution they are exempted.
Now whether they will be citizen of India or not they can remain here for the time being they can be given asylum.
>> Whether they can be citizen or not that is not clear. That is not here. It has to be silent.
>> We have to go to that >> under citizenship. He will have to apply for citizenship >> and till then he will be exempted for 6 years under long-term visa. He can apply for long-term visa because he is not a citizen of India. He's still now a foreigner but he is exempted.
>> And this provision enables the person to enter in India in >> enter legal legally but without papers.
without papers. He may enter illegally illegally but they exempted from doing this cannot. Yes, >> because due to religious persecution have he this this is qualified by religious persecution that due to religious persecution they entered. Now he the person the present person he she is exempted from this doing all these things. Now whether she will get citizenship or not that will be decided under car by the central government.
There is a committee who will have to may not go through all the documents whatever she applied there are some criteria to show that he has come due to religious persecution all this has to be examined then only for the time being he can apply for longtime vision he can stay that is the provision that's why I'm saying it should be it should not be it each and every act has to be and those has to be reached harmonious this is not is a separate one. Obviously by this is just enabling the provision of car because in car citizenship amendment act under citizenship back this amendment and they have been given liberty this this this exemptions are given in citizenship act itself by under by 2019 citizenship.
So this is enabling here also.
>> But uh if a procedure a link with the parents what will happen? Oh, that's why another submission was there is a provision in the rule by 2025 rules they have 11 categories of 11 numbers of documents which has to be produced by the proceeding or the informant the by the applicant that I have come from east Pakistan or Pakistan or Afghanistan due to religious question those document one of any of the document has to be produced before the authority now that's why My submission was that >> so there there might be a slight difficulty in this case. It is not the case of the petitioner that she had entered India due to religious persecution.
>> She says that she is the son daughter >> of Radhapan >> who had migrated to India in 1960.
>> It is up to the central government.
Central government may exempt that provisions also. This if she applied it in numbers of cases it may be another aspect my because >> what my submission is it may not be terable because she has been declared to be a foreigner coming from east Pakistan >> correct >> if she gets that order there is a determination that she's a foreigner who has come from east Pakistan so she may get the benefit without in fact she should not have ch instead of challenging is kind of border on the basis of disorders he can go to the resting >> I I'm minority there in East Pakistan >> that is what we asking Mr. That's why he is by a different tangent.
>> Yes. My suggestion was that only section 33 >> section 33 of the immigration and foreigners act 25 my lord >> on the basis of this rules of frame rules >> on the on the basis of this my lord this power is vested upon the in the principal act 25 milot section 33 power to exempt in certain cases the central government may by order published in the official gadget declare that all or any of the provisions of this act or any rule or order made there shall not apply or shall apply only in such circumstances or which such exemptions or modifications or subject to such conditions as may be specified in such order or to or in relation to number one. A the citizens or class of citizens of any such country as may be so specified or B any other individual foreigner or class or description of foreigner.
So my lord under this this provision the exemption order has been passed my lord.
>> Yes.
There are another act this exempting the application of this act. This exemption is order has been passed under this provision. So if protection is my my understanding my subject to correction of your lordships then exemption order is exemption order exemption from the act of the principal act foreigners immigration and foreigners act 20 2025 and this exemption order under protection protection is given under the exemption bypassing the act >> order cannot by the order is clear my lord is exempted from section exempted from the principal act by this order that is my understanding so exemption by this order my lord that's why I'm saying subsection 1 2 and three proved yes he can he can he not specifically he's exempted from coming to section 33 my lord clearly this act is not applied when exemption is given If you lying at least seated order 2025 I I like to read the entire order which exempted it is not only people from Pakistan if we see in exemption the provision of section three I'm reading Again the provision of sub section 1 2 3 and se of section 3 act and rule 7 8 9 and of the rules with regard to the requirement of valid passport or other valid travel documents and valid visa for entry into stay entry into stay in and exit from India shall not apply in the following cases subject to conditions mentioned there namely so only these are exempted.
He can stay. She can stay.
>> Not get citizenship.
That is the only choice. She can stay.
She will not be thrown out, but she will not get citizenship.
Yes.
>> Second stay here.
>> Yes. Yes.
My lord, my interpretation direction of your lordship >> only car I only CA.
My lord, page paragraph 27, my lord.
Paragraph uh paragraph 27 of my repetition, my lord.
have stated in paragraph seven also my lord another another act my lord immigration expulsion from assemb that under that act also he protected my lord section two of the immigrants expulsion from assam act 1950 50 page 16. Mil 1950.
Page 16. 16. My lord. Paragraph. Second paragraph. My lord.
and uh 27 116.
My lord, that the petitioner further states as per as her parents came to Assam from East Pakistan due to fear of civil disturbances, communal riots and due to religious persecution, they are protected under the provisions of section two of the immigrants expulsion from Assam Act 1950 and they should not be deported from India. The learned learners tribunal number two did not consider that aspect.
My lord, that section two of the act. My lord, if the may I read my if the central government is of opinion that any person or class of persons having been ordinarily resident in any place outside India has has or have whether before or after the commencement of this act come into India.
and that that the stay of such person or class of person in Assam is detrimental to the interest of the general public of India or any section or of any fidel tribe in Assam. The central government may order direct such person or class of persons to remove himself or themselves from India or asham within such time and by root as may be specified in the order and gives such further directions in regard to his or their removal from India or Assam as may consider necessary or expedient. Provided that my this is provided that nothing in this section shall apply to any person who on account of civil disturbances or fear of such disturbances in area in any area now forming part of Pakistan has been displaced from or has left his place or residence in such area and who has been subsequently residing in Asham. So they are my lord protected on the expansion act.
by this segment. Apart from those categories of person, prosecution of civil disturbance, they could be thrown out to immediately there was no provision of foreigners order in 1950.
So this act was in fact this act is applicable still to using this Yes, we can remove they directed to remove themselves.
This is expulsion.
>> This is expulsion. We used to expel them but my submission was this was not necessary at this projected father was there in 1960 according to him. Had she could clearly establish herself her to the projected father. All these arguments were not necessary to then it could be a different case because his father is seems to be foreign Indian in 1960 because he whether he has migrated or that is not an issue but he was there in 1960. Only thing is that only problem arises here is that mother she could not establish herself to her projected father that's why we she may given the benefit of otherwise she's citizen by birth if her father is an Indian if she could establish that 1960 person is his father her father there was no question of registering etc no question of exemption this question doesn't arise linkage is not That that is why >> my lord linkage linkage in the brothers if your lordship considered the brothers evidence my lord >> provision of law >> and and and my lord ws my lord she stated that pal is his elder brother she he get married his sister that the petitioner to not >> so my lord brothership if your lordship consider the brotherhance then it Brother's evidence my lord relations my lord relations evidence my lord one judgment is there my lord brother evidence Illiterate lady that the problem entire problem arises my lord she has not gone to the on the dead steps that's what my lordship says I have placed all my my lord my lord that is the question mark my lord that doubtful so my lord under protection my lord that can be passed my can be passed the protection that's sort of >> my brother is uh page 42 my lord page 42 do.

My English official Official record mention only only my lord his brother's evidence is important only his brother evidence and my lord in that regard my lord brother's evidence Brother Sen uh page 43 DW2 Foreign speech. Foreign foreign foreign speech.
Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
for moyur.
for Junujib.j Hindu Muslim or uh Only only registration certificate only registration certificate father since the father's name is only no documents has given the only statement the brother since since he is claimed the brother so rel blood relation my lord that's why my lord in in one case that is brother's relation my lord it is given in roarab's case my lord this honorable court held that the brother's evidence is relevant documentary only my registration certificate father's name is same so son and daughter my lot statement of relations that is that is has been considered In this case, broader relations.
My lord, in this case, same my lord brother has given evidence and this honorable court held that uh from the from the opinion it appears that the petitioner apart from filing her written statement and aducing evidence had also examined her elder brother as DW2 which finds reference in paragraph 9 of the opinion while the learned tribunal had elaborately discussed The implication of the various evidences reduced. The learned tribunal unfortunately as submitted by the landed council for the petitioner had not referred to or considered the said evidence in the form of deposition of DW2.
Now it is well settled that whenever a decision making authority takes a decision, it is obligated to take into consideration all the relevant facts and materials. And if any relevant and material fact or material has not been taken into consideration by the decision making authority, the said decision arrived at cannot be considered to be valid. In the asthma says it will be shed due to non-lication of mind on the important material or evidence. It will be equally true of a decision rendered by foreigners tribunal which is question judicial bing. In our opinion, evidence of DW2 will be highly relevant and material and as such the issue before the tribunal is to determine the citizenship of the petitioner relating to which the evidence of his close relative become highly relevant and material. So that aspect is accordingly we are the opinion that the landed tribunal having not considered the evidence of projected elder brother of the petitioner its opinion would stand beated.
So this this is my lord held by this quote in Roshan space me that is right petition number 7893 2000 >> my lord I have I have it is judgment ara roa Citation WPC 78 9th 2022 citation probably it is the one uh 72 2022 yes 7 2020 in that case it is clearly said that TWW2 was not considered but here it is considered yes definitely It has to be considered evidence.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> No discussion.
>> Yes. That's fine.
>> Yes.
Yes ma'am.
Definitely relevant if brother comes along with the document.
But if whatever has to be considered but if it is not considered definitely.
>> Yes.
Yes. Yes.
is that there is no evidence to give her son to her projected father. Yes, I think one person projected father was there in 1960.
And from the evidence of the oral evidence of DW not is not enough to establish her need to project that is the only asalenc and mother came before this trial. Their evidence is discarded in absence of other documentary evidence to link themsel to each other. So that is another matter during 19 prior to 1971 the process the citizenship has provided how to register if he comes from east wherever from that time this 1964 order was not there. So if they want to register they have to go through a certain province certain system they have to wait for seven years in this wait for as you know six years section five six five of the citizenship provision is given that now the car has amended to this provision for enabling this provision. So that the person here it was subject to the provision of this section of this section and such other conditions and restrictions as may be present. The central government may on application made on in this behalf register a citizen of India any person not being an illegal migrant.
>> Here was the question illegal migrant who is not already a citizen of so if he's not a illegal migrant he can apply under section five. Now these classes of person mother who has come due to religious pursuit >> and he will not be an illegal migrant due to this illegal.
>> No he will not be an illegal migrant due to these provisions >> and they can apply under section five.
>> That is the This is not like this. What does Thank you.
Everybody's there to talk after 6 years after 6 years.

Thereafter my lord a linkage documented this gora certificate page 28 issued in the year of 2015.
So in this case also my lord the author of this document did not appear before the >> even the department did not appear >> my lord and uh additionally this uh certificate was rejected on the ground that state emblem is there page page >> page 29 9 type copy at page 28 original is 29.
It was rejected that unauthorized state emblem was please read what is this?
This is by the whom?
>> By the gauura.
>> Gauura of my lord. It is uh >> date >> 15.
>> What is the date? 156 or 16?
>> Yes. Yes. It is uh 166. 2015 >> 2015 >> 2015 that is the it was issued from the birthplace of the petitioner that is vetagago under udaluri district >> you be not exam not examined >> he was not examined thereafter my lord uh DW2 that is my younger father at the post and uh his statement is page 33 at page 33 >> 30 >> 33 my lord >> what about 30 >> uh 30 it is my lord uh his evidence in se starts at 30 >> yes 30 >> evidence of brother >> brother >> on a bit >> on a bit >> and where is Cross examination. Cross examination page 33. Type copy.
>> Yes. The op is my elder brother. He stated she was born at Betagaw in the year 1964.
She got married in the year of about 1985. He >> said here in 1985 with the Susan Pradas of Kushigo. My mother was late renovaladas.
My father was born at Betagal.
My grandfather was late Mukund Chandraas. The Opi is residing at Nuruandanda Misamari. My father resided with me at Kubiha due to his illness. No foreigner case is pending against my member of our family except the Here it is stated that uh her marriage it is uh was uh solemnized in the 1985 and certificate says it is 1982. So on that ground also the rejection was inevitable by the planet tribunal.
And uh these are the documents supporting documents my lord.
So basically my lord tribunal has held that uh yes there is a sufficient proof that uh father of the petitioner norm of das was found to be resided in in the territory of India before 1971 but linkage was not established since uh meta certificate as well as gabbora certificate was not proof. in the format of the required by the law and uh regarding the statement regarding the malar evidence of DW2 uh there is uh the tribunal did not uh given much importance to this uh evidence my lord uh literally rejected this uh evidence and uh have arrived this decision that she is a petition, she is a foreigner of 253 1971. My lord, so my lord uh here although this is uh I have staken this plea in my pleadings that uh uh this might have been the uh ignorance or negligence of the conducting council that he could not uh he did not uh bother to call upon the author of this documents to depose before the tribunal.
But uh as a layman she uh here my prayer would be that uh she may be given a second chance to approve this documents so that she can deliver her burden of proof under section 9 of the foreigner act 1946 and uh uh in regard to the statement of the DW2 that was not considered otherwise it is also a cause and proof although it is oral evidence but it is a closing proof that his uh her younger brother has depos oral oral evidence >> oral evidence my lord anything My lord beyond the record I could not >> citation >> my lord citation uh this uh rejection of oral evidence of DW2 True.
>> Yes.
Well, at present I have no sation in this regard. Uh so you produce the citation after the decision is given otherwise my lord uh the evidence of uh the younger brother as per evidence act and uh See, we are not doubting the probative value of the oral evidence by a family member.
>> But in the subject matter which we are dealing with, there is a requirement to support all oral evidence with documentary evidence. That is the law.
Oral evidence is relevant but that by itself will not be sufficient. It can only uh lend support to existing materials >> which are to be available in the form of documents.
That is what is the reading of all the laws and conclusion if we arrive at >> we're not saying it is irrelevant.
>> Section 50 of the evidence act is there.
We have to reconcile 50 with section 9 of the foreigners act.
>> How a burden of proof is to be discharged.
That's all >> mal uh I will produce uh citation.
>> No, you cannot produce.
>> If you have to produce produce at 2:00 give the list of citation we reserving for judgment after hearing Mr. I will submit.
Mr. Shade was about 55 years in the year 2019.
Though he sometimes born in 1964 he said already stated his first right is from 1985 but till 1997 there is no list in respect of the petition first list of which >> here I have 1997 I have is is along with her husband lordship.
>> Yes.
>> Not along with her father. Lord apparently lordship is failed to prove his group with the person whose name reflected it in 1971 is or the person whose name was registered in the year of 1986 and evidence of brother is here but there is no connection with with the brother along with his father lordship that also has to be proved lordship there is no link between naras and brothers projected brothers along with his father so other link document certificate these are lordship notable document and and apart from that did not come before the tribunal.
I think not tribunal rightly rejected this document because emblem was at the top of the certificate already certificate and exhibit. Yes, >> the exhibit was exhibit F is page 28.

>> Yes. What was this certificate?
No proof and a similar case between 2018 3GT or 2018.
3GT 347. here regarding consult certificate has been >> what is that I have >> paragraph >> paragraph 59 15.1 same thing certificate same certificate they say this certificate is based issued based on evidence placed before me same thing has been mentioned in this paragraph 15 certificate 2015 secretary certifying that was the daughter of Junabali. At the top of the certificate government of Assam was prominently printed. It was also mentioned in the certificate that same was issued on the basis of the evidence placed before the secretary. Firstly this document does not appear to be a genuine document in as much as a gam is not a department of the government of Assam. Therefore, government is not authorized to use the letter government of Assam with that therein. Secondly, the secretary of the government did not testify before the tribunal along with the evidence on the basis of which agreed the certificate was refused to prove the certificate as well as the comp. Therefore, this certificate was not proved. Thirdly, Supreme Court has clarified in Rubadan beam versus Union of India reported in 2018 one SC579 that s certificate of government secretary is by no means of proof of citizenship. Such a certificate has to be verified at two stages. At the first stage, authenticity of the certificate itself is required to be verified to find out as to whether it is genuine or not. The second stage of verification relates to verification of the contents. There is nothing on record to show that activity had under any such verification exercise. Therefore, activity cannot be accepted as a valid piece of evidence. 10.
Regarding what is the 2018 >> 3 GMT 347 15.

This card is in the name of Basia B of that is the pet. There is no date of issuance of this ration card which makes it highly suspect and certainly ransom card cannot be treated as a proof of one citizenship.
Therefore narrative which was projected by the petitioner that he is the son of a citizen of India and born in India cannot be believed regarding regarding and loyc 2016 >> 3 5 4 7 of 16 >> 16 Lord it is reported >> name name >> baboon >> baboon baboon >> bc 3547 of 2016 I have to clarify 2023 GLT 5 to1 >> paragraph >> paragraph 20 in respect of 10 card 16 to 20 21 and 21.2 Two lordship lordship 20 only discuss about card and >> okay epic lordship it is in respect of epic lordship it is said in so far exhibit 7 electro photo identity card is concerned besides not being proof it is a post 71 document besides merely producing sen identity card in absence of supporting evidence would not be proof Okay.

Electoral voter list of 7797.
>> Where is your voter list or any document? See Gauora certificate has made a link of you and your father. So that needs to be supported by contemporaneous record means record what are records of that period. So what has he referred to? Even these are not production of records. Even if you assume that these are production of records, he has referred to 66 and 70 voters list and 1977 and 1977 voters.
All these we have seen 66 66 is Osmot and sonatan nothing to do with you. 70 is Osmotaban Rustam Hazer nothing to do with you. First time 1977 one Nobi has come and one Sumla that is no problem. There is no problem with Nobi and Suma. They are not the proceeding. But this after this >> 97 >> 97 B 20 gap 20 years gap and that to Noi and Suma nothing to do with you. Your name has to be in one voters account which has parents and their continuous stay from 19 post pre970 has to be proved. Even a gap may be at times uh we can excuse a gap. Mal I bet my linkage DC 77 father's name and his name his father is mentioned whose name is also there in the 1966 and 77 my lord then my subsequently my lord some documents >> father's name is not there in 66 >> not 6 77 my lord but the person who is in the year 66 and 70 my lord uh his name be shown my as father of my lord this noi push in the year 197 in that case the complication may arise also kindly come to page 16 and 18 >> 16 and 18 there are four names okay is your grandfather is your grandmother as as per your projection and one rustam and one hazer >> okay cannot be the son of Usmat.
He's 54 years old.

>> Amat my lord.
>> How can he be son of a 64 he's 54?
>> Age my lord?
>> That that that is besides the point.
What point we are trying to say is in 1977 the the father's name has come for the first time in 1977 with age 35.
>> Yes.

>> Yes ma'am.
>> Then where was Nabi in 1970? 70 he should have been there along with us not all documents are my lord not submitted my lord discrepancies are there my lord discrepancies >> no see discrepancies which can be ignored we definitely do there are minor discrepancy even supreme court has said provided other things are consistent in the case of sirajun Yes.
Indians are also sending my lord after 1977 >> when father my lord is deposing my lord my lord unless father is prosecuted my lord one person is saying >> that is from ganda lordship what is I have not got what is it?

I have two sons respectively Muhammad so much Ali and Muhammad Mo Islam and five daughters respectively Mushammed Pulsum Kun Musad Kun Musatma Kun Mama Rumina Kun Muhammad Parina Kun I believe my statements are true to my knowledge. My wife name is Musama. So Sola Kun I believe this my knowledge. My father name is late and my mother's name is late.
I believe this my knowledge. Me and my father mother there is a permanent resident at village. Mr. Uh Sharma please see page 19 of the records written statement.
See what what has been stated regarding the siblings.
We can record this page 19 page 19 of record siblings.
>> Yes.
He's silent.
>> Silent.
>> Yes.
>> Father says he he has two sons and five daughters. That means there are in total seven siblings including the petitioner.
There's no mention in the statement. Right.
>> Yes.
>> But in her mother, she stated individual followership page 40. My lord, paragraph 9 page paragraph please.
>> Page 40 paragraph 9. This is my lord.
Evidence part.
Paragraph 9. My lord, I have two brothers respectively. So Jali, Muhammad, Mo, Jul Islam and include me are five sisters respectively.
So, so bleeding is not there but evidence is there.
>> Yes, >> there's one case law cl that you cannot expand >> yes sir >> your uh version which you have made in the written statement >> the evidence is required to be confined to those you cannot expand the Nominally >> nominally correct.
>> There cannot be a variance. That is the expression used. Variance between >> pleading and proof >> 2017 GT 1076.
between pleading and is not >> that is the principle of civil law >> yes >> but uh can it be applied strictly that's the law that unlimited restriction of rendering of their needs while there They need to give importance to the investigation.
This if investigation is properly done whenever case will come alert there would not be any room otherwise cases are being referred mechanically.
My lord without proper investigation my lord Muslim mandal is very clear my lord to give emphasis on my investigation is silent in respect of it 96 onward member this is very categorically given full benching >> 2017 72 yes anything else no this one >> any citation you'd like petition against Krishna master. What is Krishna master?
Check it. 2010 2010 12 sec 324 why Rupajan has been cited by the petitioner Rupajan will be against the petitioner >> in the other case which was argued by Mr. Das >> Rupajan has uh in detailed uh disc made a discussion regarding the ga child certificate.
>> Yes.
>> The authority powers.
>> It expiated upon the uh the powers >> Yes. of government secretary. Kindly check this.
>> 12C 324 Ali also have a look. There are two copies.
This one is not required.
I think paragraph 47 he has marked it.
Okay, you have a look in the meantime you can Mr. Ali you have a look at this Krishna master >> regarding certificate I want to rely on a decision of this 2018 forg 373 >> 2018 >> 373 number was not given here >> 2017 2018 yes also 373 >> 373 Romeil par 22 I have marked 22 it is that documentary evidence would have to be proved on the basis of the record and the contemporaneous record must substantiate substantiate and prove the contents of the document. Proof of document is one thing and proof of content is another. Not only the document would have to be proved but its contents would also have to be proved.
That part the truthfulness of the contents of the document would also have to be established from record. A document or contents of the document cannot be proved on the basis of personal knowledge.
This is in respect of Gabra's certificate lordship. This is par 22 probably lordship marked and lordship in return statement if we return statement 26 one has not been followed by the proced because here date of birth was not mentioned place of birth was not mentioned and name of his parents, grandparents, everything has not been mentioned properly. Although he has she has stated in her readings that my father's claim has been reflected in the list of 1963 or seven grandfathers has been reflected in the list of 196 as so and so but he has noted that so and so and no positive statement.
>> No positive. Yes. In respect of death of participated in paragraph number five that the answering opposite party read up to class four situated at zuja under the district of noa assam and according to according to school certificate her date of birth is 11 1978 that much only he has not stated that my date of birth is so and so and according to My date of birth was inserted in the school register as Lord that was not reflected. So no positive statement has been made in the WS lordship one dat and after that lordship has already pointed out since 1977 to 1997 there is no con no appearance in respect of her parents or any other family members lordship although fat projected fat came and deposed before the tribunal lordship See and float.
Regarding evidence lordship, our high court has decided in nasia kon's case WPC 4020 2017 paragraph number 16 >> not WPC number 4020 of 2017 >> disposal >> 2111 2019 19 >> name >> A S I A K H A T WL.
>> The statement of DWIN who claimed to be the father of the petitioner cannot be relied upon in the absence of any documents showing his relationship to the petitioner.
In this we would observe that in a proceeding under foreigners act 1946 and the coroner's tribal order 1964 the evidentiary value of oral testimony without support of documentary evidence is solely insignificant.
>> Oral testimony alone is no proof of citizenship. The evidence of DW2 does fall short of being considered as coent reliable and admissible evidence so much so to establish linkage of the petitioner to him. And if we see the >> Lord just 17 date of disposal >> 2119 >> 2111 2019 >> it's not reported no matter evidence was reported 20 >> no same it is on same footing not >> norbeam 2023 G 347 >> 2020 20 >> 3 GLP 347 >> N U R N O R N >> N >> paragraph >> paragraph six lordship lordship regarding lordship case lordship I am relying Fat weapon 13 dropship.
This written statement of the petitioner was fully inadequate and did not disclose any material fact as noticed above. It was the allegation of the state that the petitioner was a foreigner. Therefore, as per mandate of section 9 of the foreigner act 1946, it was the bount duty of the petitioner to have disclosed all material facts which were specially within his knowledge in the region statement but he did not do so. petitioner neither mentioned his date of birth nor his age. He was silent regarding the name of his mother and identity of his grandparents both paternal and maternal. He did not mention anything about his brothers and sisters or about his marital status. On the basis of such written statement it cannot be said that petitioner had stated anything substantial to show that he was not a foreigner but a citizen of India. It is a settle proposition of law that where a party fails to set up a case in his pleadings, he would be dearred from aducing evidence in his support at this stage of trial. As a matter of principle, variance between pleadings and proof is not permissible.
>> Correct.
>> Okay.
So here in this case link between and also not establish this projected father no >> and amod >> and amod was known come because if we put this chip his name reflected in the list of 1977 no at the age of 35 years.
If he is 35 years, his name should be reflected in the potterist of 1971 lordship also in 1966 also lordship his name should be there along with his other lordship but it is not there and lordship stat in 14.
>> A Z A Z I Z.
>> Yes.
A Z I M Y >> MIA.
>> Yes.
>> Uh citation >> citation 2023 for GT 246.
Connected WBC number is 2370 2020.
>> 246 >> 246 >> WBC 23 >> WBC >> 2370 2023 pair of 14.
>> We are constraint to observe that claim by suspect 2370 of 2370 2023. on new matter >> decided on 69 2023 96 2023 0906 2023 par 14 I am reading we are constraint to observe that mere claim by suspected person by referring to a claiming a person therein to be his is not a conclusive proof and that by doing so the person has discharged the burden that he is not a foreigner This is because there is also a further requirement to prove that the person who is reflected in the fter's list relied upon is actually the father of the person who makes the claim the claim will have to be substantiated with further material materials accepted in law.
scholarship here in this case although no husin's name reflected in the list of 1977 >> and connected person's name has been reflected as but that as that link has to be established by further material by using some further reliable evidence should be placed to establish that link between asmot and no lordship that was not there in this case.
My humble submission is that apparently pro has failed to establish his name which is projected parents from grandparents who is continuously residing since 1966.
And regarding school certificate, I think Lord I need not to make permission lordship in respect of school certificate as it was not lordship.
Already law has been set in respect of school certificates that related issuance of school certificates some doubt in more than This certificate was issued on 10 to 2015 whereas proceed there is one major thing which you should have you should point out. You should you haven't pointed out >> not yet.
>> See the endeavor of the petitioner is to create a link.
>> Yes sir.
>> Therefore 66 70 and 77.
>> Yes sir.
>> After 70 kindly note 77 has been used.
Why 66? There is one Osmot Ali and one Sunan BB.
70. Why 70? Osmot is still there. Father is not there. But one Rustam has come in.
>> Yes.
>> See the age of Rustam in 1970.
>> Yes Lord.
>> At P 16.
>> Yes. 54.
>> 54. This Ram cannot be the son of Ammat.
>> Yes Lord.
>> Okay.
>> Yes.
This rust if this Rustam the uncle so-called uncle he is also the uncle at 77 kindly see what is the age of Rustam in 77 after 7 years he is reduces by 10 years >> yes Lord >> have you noted this >> yes Lord >> 70 he was 54 in 77 he becomes 45 >> 45 years >> reverse >> yes Lord >> so this by no means can be the other which is along Osmot.
>> Yes.
Yes.
>> Could not have been. That is the only purpose why 66 from 66 it has been tried to be linked. 66 70mm. 77 Osmot is not a rust comes in. And how rust is connected? Because of 70.
>> Yes.
>> Rusmat and Osmot. But this Rusmat cannot be the Rusmat of Rust. So Rusttom of 1977. Yes.
>> Cannot be.
Yes.
>> Unless and this Had Katon also see why our the Hunch is appears to be fortified. This Hazer Katun who is the uh maybe the wife of Rustam her age in 1970 was 27 and after seven years her age becomes only 28 >> always this kind of mistake they do my lord I have seen my in the list I have found my >> and ultimately who suffers Mr. suffers >> that's it is my personal level I have seen my without mistake my there is rare name in the list >> one way one way or two even little mistake should be there such a vital matter >> no no uh minor inconsistencies can be uh it's not overlooked can be considered that That is what honorable Supreme Court has also said in uh the case of uh >> Sirajulhawk where the grandfather's name was Kataha all along in one vot but honorable Supreme Court has in paragraph 3 has laid down a rider all other things are consistent names of father village everything else in the same voters list are consistent except the name of M and F in two voters So on that ground tribunal had uh had given an rendered an opinion of as foreigner upheld by the high court but interfered by the supreme court. So in ma matters where inconsistencies can be considered uh provided other all the other things are consistent it can be done but here the inconsistency appears to be very grave but let us see we'll check the records also yes if my lord one chance is given I'll be satisfied my lord because full certific appears to be very difficult let us Uh we'll consider >> but I will try to furnish some judgment with case number Friday. Friday we will deliver judgment aware that judgment judgment we not aware >> how can we be aware what judgment you'll be supplying we not know >> if you have some judgment you can give yes early in the morning on Friday >> okay we arrest matters the court master will give dates may not be possible Yes.
