Union Of India vs Pranav Srinivasan

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of Indian citizenship for Pranav Srinivasan under the Citizenship Act, 1955, specifically examining Section 8(2) and Section 5(1)(b). The Court held that Pranav, having applied for resumption of citizenship within three months of attaining majority, was entitled to citizenship under Section 8(2) and also considered his eligibility under Article 8 of the Constitution due to his grandparents' Indian origin. The Court directed the authorities to reconsider Pranav's application for citizenship accordingly, overturning the previous denial by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
