The woman had been given a leaving permission in January 2023 by the neighborhood police, as per the Union Ministry of Home Affairs' directives, with a March departure deadline. She did, however, apply for and receive a time extension for the leave permit from the high court.
The court has questioned the government's stance and said that its rules are difficult for them to understand and even disagreed with its notion that every citizen is suspicious.
Previously, The woman had married an Indian Man and got an X1 Visa with OCI status, later she got divorced and remarried another Indian and the couple now had a 6-month-old daughter.
After this, she submitted her OCI Card and applied for X Visa for which she received an exit notice from the Ministry of home affairs through local police who asked her to leave the country by 24 March 2023.
Justice Patel has further added that they should be right, sensible, and have a humane approach towards the woman and the child. Do not let nationalities come in this way. He even stated that the court won't allow separation for a minute.
