RUPAJAN BEGUM vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a certificate issued by the Village Panchayat Secretary for claims of inclusion in the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which the Gauhati High Court deemed invalid. The Court held that the High Court's ruling on the certificate's validity, which could affect many individuals, warranted further examination. Consequently, the Supreme Court granted leave for multiple Special Leave Petitions challenging the High Court's order, emphasizing the importance of the issue at hand under Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
