HC fines Centre for denying passport to Tibetan-origin man
The Delhi High Court imposed a â¹25,000-fine on the Centre after it withdrew the passport of a Tibetan-origin man who was born in Darjeeling in 1965, saying he should first acquire an Indian citizenship. The court reiterated its 2016 verdict which ruled that nationality of Tibetans born in India between 1950 and 1987 cannot be questioned under the Citizenship Act.
