However, he was forced to denounce the citizenship of the country and become a citizen of Pakistan. Now the petitioner is aged 71 years and he wants to join his wife and parents in Kerala. Accordingly, he has come to Kerala. However, the respondents seek to deport him. In the above circumstances, the petitioner submitted Ext.P6 petition before the Government of India stated to be under Section 9(2) of the Citizenship Act. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P6 and not to deport him in the meanwhile. 2.
