The Gauhati High Court upheld a tribunal's decision declaring a man a foreigner despite his submission of 15 documents, including a PAN card, voter ID and Aadhaar. The court ruled that these documents establish identity or residence but do not conclusively prove Indian citizenship. It observed that citizenship must be established through legally admissible evidence under the relevant laws. The judgment reinforces that identity documents alone are insufficient to determine nationality in disputed citizenship cases and upholds the Foreigners Tribunal's findings. (PC: X)
