Calcutta High Court Rules Aadhaar, PAN, and Bank Accounts Insufficient for Proving Indian Citizenship

The Calcutta High Court ruled that Aadhaar cards, PAN, voter IDs, and bank accounts do not prove Indian citizenship. The court dismissed a habeas corpus petition after finding that the petitioner failed to show conclusive evidence of the detainee's nationality. The judge noted several record discrepancies and mentioned that state verification identified the individual as a Bangladeshi national instead.
