1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR : O R D E R : S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3790/2008 (Smt. Almon Bibi Vs. U.O.I. & Ors.) Date of Order :: 10.09.2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.N.L. Joshi, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, the petitioner is citizen of Pakistan and has preferred this writ petition, seeking direction for grant of citizenship of India on the ground that she is married to one Waed Bakhash, who is citizen of India. In my opinion, when petitioner herself is not citizen of India, then this writ petition filed by her is not at all maintainable. Only the citizens of India can invoke the writ jurisdiction 2 under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for enforcement of her fundamental rights. In this view of the matter, if petitioner wants to claim any relief for granting citizenship on the basis of her marriage with Waed Bakhash before this Court, then her husband can file writ petition before this Court because till getting citizenship, she cannot claim any fundamental right granted by the Constitution of India. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS),J. A.K. Chouhan/- A.K. Chouhan/-
