The Delhi High Court recently ordered the Central government to grant citizenship to a 17-year-old girl who was born and raised in India to parents who were US citizens at the time of her birth. However, the couple held an Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) card. The high court bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh passed the order while noting that the petitioner-girl's case was covered under a special circumstance that was not covered by any specific provision of the Citizenship Act of 1955 or the Passports Act of 1967. The court also stated that the petitioner, Rachita Francis Xavier, was not an illegal migrant and qualified as a person of Indian origin.
