Those socially adapted to State’s norms can be treated as a native even if they are born outside State
The Kerala High Court has observed that persons born outside the State but settled and socially adapted to the prevailing system of norms and values of the State can be treated as native and are entitled to a nativity certificate for claiming educational and other benefits available to the natives of the State. Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar issued the order on Friday while allowing a writ petition filed by Vincy Dinakaran of Aluva challenging the refusal by the Choornikkara village officer to give her a nativity certificate on the ground that she was born outside the State.More Related News
