This query is : Resolved
A muslim having valid INDIAN passport and working in KUWAIT as a migrant worker get into illegal contact with a INDIAN woman who was also a labourer.The lady delivered a girl child but died during delivery.
Whether the child is INDIAN?
The man and his mother living currently in KUWAIT are requesting Indian Embassy in Kuwait to give a passport to the child so that they will arrange repatriation back to INDIA.But there was no response for the last 3 years.
What is the legal consequence? Anyone interested in the child rights issues can take up the case.

On the basis of place of birth the child would be a citizen of Kuwait. Hence, the father of the child should first obtain passport for the child from the Kuwaitee Govt. and thereafter apply for the Citizenship of India.
