[16/11, 11:59] Sekarreporter: “Justice PT Asha passed the order on a plea filed by R Gokuleswaran seeking direction to the Tiruchy Regional Passport Office to issue him a passport by processing his application dated February 22, 2024.
Gokuleswaran was born on February 9, 1986, to Sri Lankan parents, who had come to India during the civil war and had been living in the rehabilitation camp in Tiruchy. Since he was born in India before the cutoff date prescribed in the above Act, he had applied for a passport. However, authorities rejected his application letter, informing him that the police had filed an adverse report saying, ‘Suspect is Sri Lankan.’ Though he provided an explanation along with supporting documents, sending several reminders to process his application, he was not issued a passport, prompting him to approach the HC.”
