https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294329 Paragraph 8 of the Schedule to the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 was construed harmoniously with the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the Foreigners Act, 1946 to mean that no fresh appeal lies to a Foreigners Tribunal where citizenship status has already been adjudicated by that Tribunal under the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964. The Tribunal's opinion was treated as a quasi-judicial determination with finality, subject only to writ review, and a second round on the same nationality issue was held barred by res judicata. The Court also declined to invoke Article 142 to create a new appellate forum, holding that such a step would trespass into the legislative domain and was unnecessary on the existing statutory framework. en-us Fri, 17 May 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 09:14:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294329 Paragraph 8 of the Schedule to the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 was construed harmoniously with the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the Foreigners Act, 1946 to mean that no fresh appeal lies to a Foreigners Tribunal where citizenship status has already been adjudicated by that Tribunal under the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964.
