The Delhi High Court has instructed the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to expedite the visa application process for Pernia Qureshi, the daughter of meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi. Justice Sachin Datta emphasized the need for a swift decision on her application, which follows a 2019 petition challenging the revocation of her Person of Indian Origin (PIO) status. Pernia, a US citizen born in Pakistan, argued that her PIO card was valid until 2023, but the Centre denied her Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) status due to her Pakistani heritage. The court has also directed the FRRO to process her sister Sylvia Moin's visa application within 10 days from April 20. The case underscores the complexities surrounding citizenship laws, particularly for individuals with ties to Pakistan, and the court's previous ruling has temporarily protected Pernia's PIO status.
