Mumbai: A magistrate court acquitted passports and voter ID cards of sufficient evidence for citizenship, accusing father and son of illegally entering the country from Bangladesh. In fact, the police had received information that Bangladeshi infiltrators are living in Mumbai's Shivaji Nagar, after which 57-year-old Mohammed Mullah and Saiful were arrested in the year 2017.

The policemen said that the father-son was speaking in the local language of Bangladesh and they could not even give sufficient evidence of being Indian. Although both had presented their Indian passports and voting IDs in the court. The court said that according to me the passport is a sufficient documentation to prove the nationality of Saiful. Similarly, the voter card could also be presented in favour of the voter that he is a citizen of India. This evidence is sufficient to prove the nationality of Mohammed.

The court said that while Aadhaar card is not proof to prove nationality, ration card is issued only on a humanitarian basis, so that people can be saved from starvation, but it cannot be used for citizenship. While issuing separate passports for all these, the officials verify the applicant's nationality and all other parameters.
